answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/11/2014 answer text <p>The FCO estimates spend of approximately £106,000 since the beginning of the Ebola outbreak in West Africa. This figure forms a part of the £230 million committed by the UK Government to tackle Ebola, which includes support for 700 Ebola treatment beds in Sierra Leone, tripling current capacity. A significant area of FCO expenditure has been providing additional resilience to our Missions in the affected countries. This has helped ensure the UK is at the forefront of the international effort to tackle Ebola. A further element of spend was the UK hosted London Conference on Defeating Ebola on 2 October. The conference brought together more than 20 governments, a dozen charities and NGOs, the UN, World Bank, health experts and the private sector to pledge funds, equipment and health workers. The conference secured new pledges for Sierra Leone of over £100m and hundreds of staff for the Ebola response.</p> answering member constituency Rochford and Southend East answering member printed James Duddridge question first answered 24/11/2014 16:08:44 answering member 1559 label Biography information for Sir James Duddridge
