<p>The UK has been at the forefront of the international response to the Ebola outbreak,
working closely with the UN. However, the UK Government recognises that much more
needs to be done to ensure that the spread of Ebola in West Africa is contained. That
is why my Rt Hon Friend, the Member for Witney (David Cameron), Prime Minister has
pushed for an urgent and ambitious scale-up in EU and Member States resources to fight
Ebola at October’s European Council. The Prime Minster will make a statement about
this on Monday 27 October. We have also been working with international partners to
encourage them to increase contributions, including to the UN’s Ebola Trust Fund,
which is currently significantly underfunded.</p>
