answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/03/2017 answer text <p>The full implications of the reinstated and expanded Mexico City policy on global funding for the HIV response are not yet clear, but we are closely following developments. DFID will consider the implications with our offices, with UK civil society and with donors. The UK has made a £1.1 billion pledge to the Global Fund to fight AIDS, TB and Malaria for the 5th replenishment 2017-2019, increased from £800m for the 4th replenishment. This will boost funding for HIV through the Global Fund and will support the firm commitment to end the AIDS epidemic as a public health threat by 2030.</p> answering member constituency Witham answering member printed Priti Patel question first answered 13/03/2017 15:13:46 answering member 4066 label Biography information for Priti Patel
