answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/12/2016 answer text <p>DFID supports the aims of the UN High Level Panel on Access to Medicines, but we note that this panel of experts could not reach consensus. The World Health Organisation has analysed the barriers that limit access to medicines, and developed a Global Strategy and Plan of Action on Public Health, Innovation and Intellectual Property. It is, therefore, well-placed to consider, with partners, which of the Panel’s recommendations add value.</p> answering member constituency Stockton South answering member printed James Wharton question first answered 06/12/2016 14:47:01 answering member 4123 label Biography information for Lord Wharton of Yarm
