	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/09/2017 answer text <p>Tackling antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a UK government priority. Lord O’Neill’s AMR review, published in May 2016, sets out the scale of the global challenge, including in developing countries. Insecticide and drug resistance pose a real threat to the recent progress seen on malaria. DFID supports developing new drugs and new insecticides, in response to current levels of resistance. We also support drug management programmes that decrease the chances of resistance building up, and other measures of tackling malaria, such as the use of bednets.</p> answering member constituency North East Bedfordshire answering member printed Alistair Burt question first answered 05/09/2017 11:18:31 answering member 1201 label Biography information for Alistair Burt
