meeting the Government's priorities for the treatment and management of the disease, including the standards set out in the Renal National Service Framework. [45589]

Jane Kennedy: Over 75 per cent. of the Department's research and development (R and D) budget is allocated to research active national health service organisations as R and D support funding. This funding is used to meet the research priorities and needs of the NHS, and to meet the NHS costs of hosting research and development supported by external funders. The priorities and needs funding supports the R and D required to underpin quality improvement and is explicitly linked to the national service frameworks (NSFs). Renal disease is an identified priority for NHS research and NHS organisations report spending some £11 million a year in support of research in that area.

The Department, through its policy research programme, commissioned independent reviews of the available research evidence on kidney disease and its management for both parts of the NSF for renal services, ensuring the standards and quality requirements of the NSF are evidence-based.

Dr. Evan Harris: To ask the Secretary of State for Health how much was spent on NHS research into causes, diagnosis and treatment of kidney disease in each of the last five years; and if she will list the research projects on kidney disease funded in each year. [46746]

Jane Kennedy: The Department funds research to support policy and to provide the evidence needed to underpin quality improvement and service development in the national health service through its national research programmes. Expenditure on research into kidney disease supported by these programmes is shown in the table.
£000
2000–01102
2001–02138
2002–03224
2003–04284
2004–05203

Over 75 per cent. of the Department's total expenditure on health research is devolved to and managed by NHS organisations. The NHS has reported spending from this funding in support of renal disease research as follows:
£ million
2002–0311.1
2003–0410.6
2004–0510.8

This expenditure data was not collected centrally prior to 2002.

Details of the individual projects concerned can be found on the national research register on the Department's website at www.dh.gov.uk/research.

Long-term Conditions

Mr. Burstow: To ask the Secretary of State for Health pursuant to her answer of 11 January 2006, Official Report, column 729W, on long-term conditions, what is the role of her Department's document, 'Supporting People with Long Term Conditions'; by what process (a) this document and (b) the national service framework for long-term conditions was created; and whether the document has been superseded by the national service framework on long-term conditions. [48201]

Mr. Byrne: The publication, 'Supporting People with Long Term Conditions' was developed to provide a health and social care model for long-term conditions. It was written for a management and senior clinician audience to provide a strategic direction to the national health service and social care. The management model was developed with the active engagement of a number of stakeholders including the NHS, local authorities, patients and the voluntary sector.

The national service framework (NSF) for long-term conditions builds on 'Supporting People with Long Term Conditions' by focusing on the implementation and delivery of improved treatment and care for people with long-term conditions. The NSF was developed with the advice of an independent external reference group consisting of health and social care professionals, service users and carers.
