question text	To ask the Secretary of State for International Development, pursuant to the Answer of 15 March 2019 to Question 231428, since what year his Department has used that single source of data on illegal abortions overseas; and what the cost to the public purse has been of tackling illegal abortions overseas in 2019.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/05/2019 answer text <p>The UK Government uses a range of data sources and publications to inform our policy on how to tackle unsafe abortion, as cited in our published position. The UK Government has used and reported on the Guttmacher Institute estimates in our Single Departmental Plan Family Planning sector page since July 2018.</p><p> </p><p>DFID’s bilateral and multi-country programmes take an integrated approach in order to meet a wide range of women’s reproductive health needs. For example, providing a woman with holistic care for gender-based violence, HIV counselling, safe-abortion care and information on family planning. Because of the integrated nature of this work, it is not possible to provide a break-down of funding on safe abortion services alone. The aim of the UK Government’s work on sexual and reproductive health and rights overseas is to reduce the number of unwanted pregnancies and unsafe abortions, increase the use of voluntary family planning, and give women control over their own bodies and lives.</p> answering member constituency South West Wiltshire answering member printed Dr Andrew Murrison question first answered 16/05/2019 15:35:07 answering member 1466 label Biography information for Dr Andrew Murrison

question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Baroness Sugg on 7 May (HL15313), when they expect the World Health Organisation will complete its review on the extent of the problem of women being detained because they cannot pay medical fees; and as a result when they expect to be able to provide an accurate assessment of the scale of this problem in countries in receipt of UK Official Development Assistance.

uin	HL15653
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/05/2019 answer text <p>The UK is deeply concerned that women are being detained because they cannot pay medical fees, including after childbirth complications. The WHO review will not be able to provide definitive numbers on the scale of this problem but will provide information on detention in hospitals for a policy brief that is expected by the end of 2019. DFID will ensure we respond to the policy brief. It will inform how we contribute to the long-term approach to promote financing reforms to benefit the poor and reduce out-of-pocket health expenditure.</p> answering member printed Baroness Sugg question first answered 15/05/2019 15:22:29 answering member 4584 label Biography information for Baroness Sugg
