The National Institute for Health and Care Research will be funded by the Department of Health and Social Care, according to theThe money will be spent on employing specialist researchers, policy makers and support staff for the next five years.Ms Hinchcliffe said: "It is simply unacceptable that in 21st-century Britain we have such huge gaps in health equality.
