answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/02/2022 answer text <p>The UK is committed to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals including ending the HIV, tuberculosis and malaria pandemics by 2030. The UK pledged £1.4 billion in the 6th replenishment (2020-2022) to the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria, making us the 2nd largest donor towards the 6th replenishment and 3rd largest donor since the Global Fund's creation.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/02/2022 answer text <p>The Global Fund's Results Report 2021 shows the achievements of the Global Fund partnership as well as the challenges posed by COVID-19. Since its creation in 2002, the Global Fund partnership has saved 44 million lives and led to a reduction by 46% in deaths from HIV, TB and malaria in the countries where it invests. The UK is the second largest donor to the sixth replenishment (2020-2022). We look forward to reviewing the Global Fund's investment case for the 7th Replenishment. This investment case, which will set out the resources needed to achieve the first stage of the Global Fund's 2023-2028 strategy, will underpin the UK's future funding commitment.</p> answering member constituency Cannock Chase answering member printed Amanda Milling question first answered 16/02/2022 16:47:34 answering member 4454 label Biography information for Dame Amanda Milling

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/02/2022 answer text <p>The Foreign Secretary will host the Global Pandemic Preparedness Summit on 8 March 2022 to raise funds for the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovation (CEPI)'s 5-year strategy for preventing future pandemics. This will support CEPI's work to improve pandemic preparedness, including through investing in vaccines research and development to enable the world to have vaccines within 100 days of a future pandemic threat being identified.</p><p>In addition, the Global Pandemic Preparedness Summit will recognise the importance of Global Health Institutions, like the Global Fund, in enabling coherent global pandemic preparedness and response. The Global Fund and CEPI have worked closely together since the pandemic's onset through mechanisms such as the ACT-Accelerator (which both organisations co-launched) and the Global Fund's C19 Response mechanisms to address inequity in access to health services, strengthen health systems in lower- and middle-income countries, and build resilience.</p><p>Separately, the Global Fund will have its own replenishment later in 2022, hosted by the United States Government.</p> answering member constituency Cannock Chase answering member printed Amanda Milling question first answered 16/02/2022 17:45:27 answering member 4454 label Biography information for Dame Amanda Milling

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/02/2022 answer text <p>The Government recognises that the ability to transact in cash remains important to millions of people across the UK and has committed to legislating to protect access to cash.</p><p> </p><p>The Government does not collect information on the levels of cash acceptance among retailers. Nonetheless, it remains closely engaged with the financial regulators, including through the Treasury-chaired Joint Authorities Cash Strategy Group, to monitor and assess trends relating to cash.</p><p> </p><p>The FCA has published research on cash acceptance by small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), which found that the primary motivation for accepting cash is to provide customers with choice. While it remains the individual retailer’s choice as to whether to accept or decline any form of payment, including cash or card, nearly all (98%) of surveyed businesses stated they would never turn away a customer if they needed to pay by cash.</p> answering member constituency Salisbury answering member printed John Glen question first answered 16/02/2022 15:07:02 answering member 4051 label Biography information for John Glen
