answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/10/2015 answer text <p>DFID’s health systems strengthening framework will set out how the UK should support countries to build strong, resilient health systems in future, both through its own resources and through its partner organisations.

Free, fair and inclusive elections are crucial for the Central African Republic’s future stability and progress towards reconciliation.

The UK recognises the significant progress achieved in the voters registration process in the Central African Republic and emphasises the importance of the registration of refugees in neighbouring countries. The UK is supportive of an EU Electoral Observation Mission to the Central African Republic, subject to further discussions in Brussels later this year.</p> answering member constituency Welwyn Hatfield answering member printed Grant Shapps question first answered 19/10/2015 14:22:21 answering member 1582 label Biography information for Grant Shapps
