answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/07/2015 answer text <p>The UK is at the forefront of the fight against Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTDs). At the London Declaration on Neglected Tropical Diseases in 2012 the UK committed an additional £195million to combat these diseases. We support programmes protecting millions of the poorest from a range of NTDs. We also support research into new drugs and diagnostics to combat NTDs. There remains a significant funding gap for NTDs. The UK is meeting our commitments. Others need to do more to support countries to implement programmes to prevent and treat NTDs.</p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Welwyn Hatfield answering member printed Grant Shapps question first answered 23/07/2015 14:01:29 answering member 1582 label Biography information for Grant Shapps
