It presented a compelling business case for employers to take action to improve the wellbeing of their employees providing recommendations for all employers to adopt six core standards that lay the basic foundations for an approach to workplace mental health.</p> answering member constituency West Suffolk answering member printed Matt Hancock question first answered 23/10/2018 16:15:02 answering member 4070 label Biography information for Matt Hancock

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/10/2018 answer text <p>The UK has consistently been one of the top five donors to UNRWA. We have increased our total funding to £57.5 million so far this year. We have also lobbied other donors to do likewise and are pleased that this effort has been successful; following a Ministerial meeting in New York, UNRWA’s deficit has been reduced to $64 million. However, if further funding is not secured, we assess that this could impact the delivery of essential services across UNRWA’s fields of operation; in Jordan, Lebanon, Gaza, Syria and the West Bank. DFID will continue to work with UNRWA and other donors to help ensure essential services are maintained across the region.</p> answering member constituency North East Bedfordshire answering member printed Alistair Burt question first answered 23/10/2018 14:10:36 answering member 1201 label Biography information for Alistair Burt
