answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/04/2016 answer text <p>DFID has provided £19,867 to support UNOCHA for its work in Libya since 1 April 2015. This was to provide surge support for coordination to UNOCHA during the production of the Humanitarian Response Plan. The secondment came to a close unexpectedly early. Following a decision by OCHA not to replace the coordinator, we have used some of the remaining funds to second an Emergency Health Sector Coordinator within WHO since November 2015 at a cost of £34,614 in response to priority needs. In addition, we are currently brokering a further surge secondment to OCHA and at this point in time the costs are not finalised.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency New Forest West answering member printed Mr Desmond Swayne question first answered 11/04/2016 12:14:00 answering member 55 label Biography information for Sir Desmond Swayne
