answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/07/2017 answer text <p>Our assessment is that insecticide and drug resistance pose a real threat to the recent progress seen on malaria. This is why DFID is a leading global funder of efforts to tackle malaria, through research funding, bilateral treatment and control programmes and our funding to multilateral institutions such as the Global Fund. This support includes developing new drugs and new insecticides, in response to current levels of insecticide resistance. We also support drug management programmes that decrease the chances of resistance building up, and other measures of tackling malaria, such as the use of bednets.</p> answering member constituency North East Bedfordshire answering member printed Alistair Burt question first answered 20/07/2017 16:27:24 answering member 1201 label Biography information for Alistair Burt
