answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/10/2014 answer text <p>Since May 2010, DFID Sierra Leone has supported the distribution of 2.3 million long lasting insecticide treated bed nets (LLINs) through two nationwide campaigns completed in June 2011 and May 2014. The aim of these campaigns was to achieve universal coverage of LLINs in Sierra Leone as the most effective means of preventing malaria. A rapid assessment following the 2014 distribution campaign found that 81% of households visited nationwide were using at least one mosquito net, up from 37% in 2008. However, an evaluation designed to assess the longer term effectiveness of the campaign has been postponed due to the Ebola crisis. In addition, the Global Fund has provided a further 600,000 nets.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Hornsey and Wood Green answering member printed Lynne Featherstone question first answered 27/10/2014 17:17:31 answering member 1531 label Biography information for Baroness Featherstone

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/10/2014 answer text <p>There are ongoing high-level discussions across Government on the UK response to the Ebola outbreak including between the MoD and DFID. The scale of the crisis demands a coordinated, multi-departmental response by the UK Government.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>On the 17<sup>th</sup> of September, we pledged £100 million in support towards combatting the outbreak. At the heart of this is the provision of 700 treatment beds in Sierra Leone to help to save lives and contain the spread of Ebola. This will increase the number of available beds to more than 1,000 over the coming months. Work has already begun on a 92 bed treatment facility in Kerrytown which will provide 12 dedicated beds specifically for healthcare workers. The MoD will set up, build and operate this facility.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>Given the gravity of the situation in Sierra Leone DFID, together with the MoD, is setting up a forward command and control logistical hub that will provide the backbone of infrastructure, commodities, training and management needed to scale up the response in Sierra Leone. The hub will be staffed by a large multi-agency team including military, humanitarian and health experts. It will work closely with international partners and with the Government of Sierra Leone.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Lord Wallace of Saltaire question first answered 13/10/2014 11:59:29 answering member 1816 label Biography information for Lord Wallace of Saltaire

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/09/2014 answer text <p>Work to combat violence and discrimination against Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) people forms an important part of our wider international human rights work. The Foreign and Commonwealth Office works through our Embassies and High Commissions, and through international organisations, including the Commonwealth, the EU and the UN, to promote tolerance and non-discrimination against LGBT people and to address discriminatory laws, in particular those that criminalise homosexuality. <br> <br>The UK has been a member of the LGBT core group in Geneva since 2011, playing a key role in passing the UN’s first ever resolution on LGBT rights and recently joined its counterpart group in New York.</p><p>Within the Commonwealth we continue to encourage the Secretariat and the Secretary-General to do more to promote the rights of its LGBT people. The former Foreign Secretary, my Rt hon friend the Member for Richmond, Yorks (William Hague), wrote to the Commonwealth Secretary-General in March urging him to take concrete action to address this issue within the Commonwealth.</p> answering member constituency Aylesbury answering member printed Mr David Lidington grouped question UIN 207082 207083 207084 207085 207087 207093 207094 207095 207141 207168 207169 207170 207171 207189 207190 207191 207192 207205 207206 207226 207227 207228 207229 207230 207231 207232 207233 207234 207235 207236 207237 207238 207239 207240 207244 207245 207246 207247 207248 207249 question first answered 05/09/2014 14:17:17 answering member 15 label Biography information for Sir David Lidington
