In many countries, it is possible to make an appointment with a local doctor to arrange an alternative prescription. We recognise that local measures to combat the spread of Covid-19 are presenting challenges for some people and are working with authorities in each country to resolve these. British nationals should call the relevant embassy, high commission or consulate before they run out of medication if they have not been able to replace it using our published advice.</p> answering member constituency Braintree answering member printed James Cleverly question first answered 27/04/2020 14:44:32 answering member 4366 label Biography information for James Cleverly

Since the outbreak in Wuhan, we estimate that over 1.3 million people have returned to the UK via commercial routes - the majority supported by our work to keep vital routes open. Since the Foreign Secretary announced £75m to support repatriation efforts on 30 March, the Government has so far delivered a programme of over 150 charter flights from where commercial options are no longer viable. These flights have brought over 31,000 travellers, from 27 countries and territories, back to UK airports in the East Midlands, London and Manchester.</p> answering member constituency Selby and Ainsty answering member printed Nigel Adams question first answered 18/05/2020 16:06:08 answering member 4057 label Biography information for Nigel Adams

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/12/2017 answer text <p>The Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) keeps its staff numbers under regular review in response to Ministerial priorities. Furthermore, the FCO works closely with the Department for Exiting the European Union and other Government Departments to prepare for EU Exit. Staff within the FCO's Europe Directorate lead on providing advice to Ministers on EU Exit and exit-related issues. However, staff across the Department leading on other issues also provide advice and analysis as required. It is therefore not possible to give an accurate figure for the number of officials working on issues related to the UK leaving the EU, given the interactions between EU Exit work and the FCO's other priorities.</p> answering member constituency Rutland and Melton answering member printed Sir Alan Duncan question first answered 07/12/2017 17:08:47 answering member 343 label Biography information for Sir Alan Duncan

We have regular discussions with EU counterparts, the United States, other key partners and multilateral institutions like the UN, to support resolutions and policies that encourage Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territories to take steps that rebuild trust. This is crucial for negotiations to succeed. We work closely with EU partners to make clear our serious concerns about the situation on the ground.</p> answering member constituency Tamworth answering member printed Christopher Pincher question first answered 20/01/2020 15:37:13 answering member 4075 label Biography information for Christopher Pincher

But, exceptionally, during the crisis, where there is space on HMG repatriation flights we are seeking to help vulnerable non-British UK residents with indefinite leave to remain return to the UK.
