In Sudan, we are providing technical assistance to the UN to develop a strategy for partnering with local organisations and using our seat on the Sudan Humanitarian Fund (SHF) advisory board to encourage a greater portion of assistance to be channelled to local, community-led organisations. The recent International Development White Paper is also clear on this priority and commits the UK to publish a strategy on partnering with national relief actors.</p> answering member constituency Sutton Coldfield answering member printed Mr Andrew Mitchell question first answered 22/05/2024 13:50:08 answering member 1211 label Biography information for Mr Andrew Mitchell

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/02/2024 answer text <p>Smoking is the number one entirely preventable cause of ill-health, disability and death in this country. It is responsible for 80,000 yearly deaths in the United Kingdom and one in four of all UK cancer deaths. Smoking is closely associated with poor mental health and wellbeing, as people with mental health conditions die 10 to 20 years earlier, with smoking contributing significantly to this. Further information on the wellbeing of smokers aged 18 years old and over, and the relationship between smoking and mental health, is available respectively at the following links:</p><p><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/smoking-prevalence-in-adults-current-smokers-aged-over-18-years-by-wellbeing-group-and-region" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/smoking-prevalence-in-adults-current-smokers-aged-over-18-years-by-wellbeing-group-and-region</a></p><p><a href="https://ukhsa.blog.gov.uk/2020/02/26/health-matters-smoking-and-mental-health/" target="_blank">https://ukhsa.blog.gov.uk/2020/02/26/health-matters-smoking-and-mental-health/</a></p><p>It also costs our country £17 billion a year, £14 billion of which is through lost productivity alone. It puts huge pressure on the National Health Service and social care, costing over £3 billion a year. At the end of quarter three of 2023/24, 37 out of 48 Mental Health services identified as eligible under the NHS Long Term Plan, are reporting that they are delivering tobacco dependence treatment services.</p> answering member constituency South Northamptonshire answering member printed Andrea Leadsom question first answered 26/02/2024 15:14:47 answering member 4117 label Biography information for Andrea Leadsom
