	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/11/2016 answer text <p>In 2015, there were more people over the age of 50 living with HIV than ever before (5.8 million). This is because we are treating more people and preventing deaths. Older people living with HIV, however, have up to five times the risk of chronic disease and countries face increasing long-term health-care costs.</p><p>DFID’s support to countries in sub-Saharan Africa to strengthen their health systems, including integrating HIV services, seeks to address this and ensure the needs of older people living with HIV are met through age-appropriate services.</p> answering member constituency Stockton South answering member printed James Wharton question first answered 28/11/2016 16:18:26 answering member 4123 label Biography information for Lord Wharton of Yarm

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
