answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/11/2016 answer text <p>The Prime Minister’s Office is integral part of the Cabinet Office.</p><p>The Government is united in its ambition to deliver a successful withdrawal from the EU and a new relationship with Europe. Cabinet Office will work together with the Department for Exiting the EU (DExEU) and other departments to deliver this. The Prime Minister has instructed all departments to identify potential opportunities that will arise in their areas from EU exit. Cabinet Office is working closely with DExEU to ensure that the full range of opportunities is identified, and risks mitigated across areas of Cabinet Office responsibility.</p><p>The Cabinet Office exists to support the Prime Minister and ensure the effective running of government. We are also the corporate headquarters for government, in partnership with HM Treasury, and we take the lead in certain critical policy areas. As a result, rather than having stand-alone projects related to the UK’s exit from the EU, all aspects of Cabinet Office responsibility are now adapting to the current context, which includes preparing for the UK’s exit from the EU.</p> answering member constituency Ipswich answering member printed Ben Gummer grouped question UIN 54755 question first answered 28/11/2016 10:02:40 answering member 3988 label Biography information for Ben Gummer

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/11/2016 answer text <p>The Secretary of State recently returned from Sierra Leone and saw first-hand that although the Ebola crisis has ended, the country faces major development challenges, including some of the worst child and infant mortality rates in the world.</p><p>Ebola has made these challenges worse and reversed, for example, much of the progress in health made since the civil war, with high numbers of health staff dying and sharp falls in essential services, such as treatment of malaria and immunisation. UK support is helping the Government of Sierra Leone to build up better health services and save lives, ensure children get a better education, increase access to water and sanitation, and lay the groundwork for increased economic development.</p><p>Our cross-government response to the 2014/15 Ebola crisis saved lives and stopped the outbreak decimating development in Sierra Leone. Halting the disease in West Africa was the single most important way of preventing Ebola from infecting people in the UK.</p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Stockton South answering member printed James Wharton question first answered 29/11/2016 16:43:36 answering member 4123 label Biography information for Lord Wharton of Yarm
