The NHS Spends Significantly Less on Pregnancy-Related Research Compared with Other Health Conditions

The National Health Service spends significantly less on pregnancy-related research compared with other health conditions. Funding for pregnancy research totaled£255 million from 2013 to 2017, or about£51 million a year. As pregnancy care costs the NHS£5.8 billion annually, this means that for every£1 spent on pregnancy care, less than 1 penny is spent on research.
