answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/09/2017 answer text <p>The world has made remarkable recent progress in tackling malaria, with malaria deaths falling by 62% between 2000 and 2015. DFID is a leading supporter of the effort to meet the World Health Organisation (WHO) 2020 targets, including a 40% reduction in malaria cases and deaths.

Funding assessments are conducted by WHO. The estimated global spend on malaria control and elimination in 2015 was US$ 2.9 billion; and the estimated need to meet the targets is US$ 6.4 billion per year by 2020.</p> answering member constituency North East Bedfordshire answering member printed Alistair Burt question first answered 05/09/2017 11:21:48 answering member 1201 label Biography information for Alistair Burt

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/07/2017 answer text <p>The Government has made clear that its first priority is to reach agreement on the post-exit position of European Union citizens now living in the United Kingdom and of UK nationals living in other EU countries. It will put those citizens first, and do all it can to provide reassurance to the EU citizens who have made the UK their home, and likewise for UK nationals who have done the same in countries across the EU.</p><p> </p><p>Over one million UK nationals have moved to other countries in the EU, and many have built their lives there. Their ability to stay, and for life to continue much as it does now, depends on the agreement that is reached between the UK and the EU. The UK has stated its intention, subject to negotiations, to guarantee that qualifying individuals, resident before a specified date, will be granted ‘settled status’ in UK law and free to reside in any capacity and undertake any lawful activity, to access public funds and services and to apply for British citizenship. It expects that the EU will offer reciprocal treatment for UK nationals resident in its member states.</p><p> </p><p>The Government has not made an assessment at this stage of the impact on public services, including the National Health Service and social care, of any changes in migration as this is dependent upon ongoing negotiations.</p> answering member constituency Ludlow answering member printed Mr Philip Dunne question first answered 20/07/2017 14:58:10 answering member 1542 label Biography information for Philip Dunne
