<p>DFID and the Ministry of Defence already work closely together deploying ships
to respond to humanitarian emergencies. For example, following Hurricane Dorian in
the Bahamas last September, RFA Mounts Bay played a critical role in the UK response.</p><p>The
integrated review is the deepest review of the UK’s foreign, defence, security and
development policy since the end of the Cold War.</p><p>It will establish the strategic
aims for our national security and foreign policy, determining the capabilities and
structural reforms needed to meet those aims and how we will work with international
partners and organisations to promote the UK’s interests around the world.</p><p>No
decision has been made on the construction or operation of a UK hospital ship, and
we will continue to ensure that UKaid is deployed in a way that maximises value for
money for development and the UK taxpayer.</p>
