answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/01/2016 answer text <p>There is no requirement to carry out assessments of the refugees and asylum seekers who arrived in 1998 as arrangements for these individuals were made some time ago to have access to health facilities in the Republic of Cyprus as and when they require. Those occupying the Sovereign Base Areas (SBA) Transit Facility located in Dhekelia who arrived in the SBA on 21 October 2015 have regular access to medical, dental and other health facilities as required. Local non-governmental organisations have engaged with the migrants and offered psycho-social support including access to social workers and refugee specialists. The Republic of Cyprus has recently commenced an education package for children and adults at the facility. Separately, the International Committee of the Red Cross, British Red Cross and Cyprus Red Cross assessed health and wellbeing in November 2015.</p><p>We have also had an official from the Department for International Development providing advice on the ground, to help us meet the refugees needs.</p> answering member constituency Portsmouth North answering member printed Penny Mordaunt question first answered 14/01/2016 16:23:27 answering member 4017 label Biography information for Penny Mordaunt
