answer text <p>The FCDO uses the OECD-DAC disability policy marker to indicate what level of disability-inclusive activities take place with each bilateral official development assistance (ODA) programme. A score of 1 indicates that at least some deliberate disability-inclusive activity is undertaken but disability inclusion is not the main purpose of the programme. A score of 2 indicates that addressing disability inclusion is the primary purpose of the programme.</p><p>The table below gives ODA spending and project numbers for DFID and FCO (from 2018 to 2020) and FCDO (2021 onwards). The counts in columns (b) and (e) are for individual projects as reported to the OECD-DAC.</p><p>Columns (a), (b) and (c) provides the amount of ODA disbursed and details of projects that scored 2 for the marker.</p><p>Column (e) and (f) provides the details on the number of ODA projects that scored 1 for the marker.</p><p>Column (d) provides the total amount of ODA disbursed in projects that scored 1 for the marker.

answer text <p>Dudley Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) has proposed a contract of up to 15 years long. Proposing a longer contract length builds flexibility into the procurement process. This will minimise the risk of changes to the procurement and seeks to avoid a possible re-procurement at considerable cost.</p><p> </p><p>In all cases it will be for the Dudley CCG to determine the appropriate contract length. In doing so they would need to consider the appropriate balance between the potential for a longer contract and the stability that may provide and so encourage long-term service transformation with the scope to respond in a more agile way to changes in circumstances with shorter contracts.</p><p> </p><p>In designing the contract it will be important to ensure adequate break points are included. The contract framework will set out the circumstances in which the contract may be terminated by either party, and the process following termination. It will be for Dudley CCG to determine where the break points should be, factoring in the potential impacts on value for money. The contract will also contain a 12 month no fault termination clause which operates in accordance with the existing terms of the NHS Standard Contract.</p><p> </p><p>To support commissioners, NHS England and NHS Improvement published details of a new Integrated Support and Assurance Process (ISAP). The dual purpose of the ISAP is to guide the work of local commissioners and providers in creating successful and safe schemes and provide a means of assurance that this has happened. The ISAP process will also test whether the contract will deliver value for money over the full duration of that contract.</p><p> </p><p>As part of the commissioning process, commissioners (and providers where appropriate) will have to forecast the Whole Population Budget value for the duration of the contract. These forecast values should take account of expected future cost and activity pressures, for example anticipated changes in population size, demographics as well as inflation in health and care provision costs (as reflected in national planning assumptions).</p>

answer text <p>The UK has played a leading role in galvanising international action to combat the illegal wildlife trade, and in pressing for a total ban on ivory sales we will work with our international partners and interested parties at home to seek their views about how we best achieve this and over what timeframe.</p><p>The Government is committed to maintaining the current global ban on any new international trade in raw ivory. In addition, the UK does not permit trade in raw ivory tusks of any age and we are pressing for this approach to be taken across the whole of the European Union.</p><p>We also warmly welcome the recent indications from the Government of China that it intends in due course to close its legal domestic market for ivory. This will remove a key driver of the demand which in turn fuels the continued poaching that is currently resulting in the deaths of tens of thousands of elephants every year.</p><p><br></p><p> </p><p> </p> more like this
