answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/11/2015 answer text <p>DFID uses evidence on the cost-effectiveness of health interventions to inform DFID investment decisions. This includes the World Health Organisation CHOICE (CHOosing Interventions that are Cost-Effective) project that provides detailed cost-effectiveness estimates of a large number of interventions to reduce risks to health, including many causes of blindness. DFID’s aim is to maximise health gains through targeted, cost-effective health interventions that are delivered through strengthened, more efficient and effective health systems.</p><br /><p>Every DFID project is rigorously appraised before approval. During implementation each project is regularly monitored to examine whether the targeted results are on track, whether the project represents value for money and remains cost effective, and what, if any, corrective action needs to be undertaken. DFID considers alternative approaches and cost-effectiveness, amongst other factors, whenever we make an investment. The best value for money in a given country at a given time will depend on many factors, including the local context and what others are doing.</p> answering member constituency Welwyn Hatfield answering member printed Grant Shapps grouped question UIN 16413 question first answered 23/11/2015 16:01:13 answering member 1582 label Biography information for Grant Shapps

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/10/2015 answer text <p>DFID’s health systems strengthening framework will set out how the UK should support countries to build strong, resilient health systems in future, both through its own resources and through its partner organisations. This will help countries to make sustainable progress towards the global goal of ensuring healthy lives and promoting well-being for all at all ages. A strong health system recognises the links between different health issues and provides integrated services to address them. Sustained financing is essential to good quality service provision and the framework will include support for greater domestic resource mobilisation and better public financial management. It will prioritise those who would otherwise be left behind, including the poorest, the most marginalised and those who are hardest to reach.</p> answering member constituency Welwyn Hatfield answering member printed Grant Shapps grouped question UIN 11951 11952 question first answered 19/10/2015 15:14:33 answering member 1582 label Biography information for Grant Shapps
