§ 34. Mr. Boothasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what is the total expenditure in the United Kingdom on research into schizophrenia; and what percentage of that figure is devoted to research into the biochemical causes of schizophrenia.
§ Mrs. ThatcherResearch on schizophrenia is carried out render the auspices of the Medical Research Council, the Health Departments and hospital boards, in universities and medical schools, and by various voluntary agencies. It is not possible to estimate the total expenditure or to give a breakdown because work on schizophrenia and its biochemical aspects forms part of wider programmes of research on mental health.
