answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/11/2018 answer text <p>The World Health Organisation (WHO) casualty statistics are the best UN data currently available. Because of the active conflict in Yemen fewer than half of health facilities are fully functional. The WHO data reflects civilian injuries and deaths reported through health facilities, therefore they represent a partial picture. The real figure is likely higher.</p> answering member constituency North East Bedfordshire answering member printed Alistair Burt question first answered 28/11/2018 14:59:44 answering member 1201 label Biography information for Alistair Burt

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/11/2018 answer text <p>The Government considers all the relevant factors in setting the level of the public health grant. Over the five years of the current spending review period we are making over £16 billion of grant funding available to local authorities in England exclusively for use on improving health. The grant is only a proportion of the total spending on public health: for example, NHS England commissions national screening and immunisation programmes with a budget of £1.2 billion in 2017/18, and many other interventions occur in National Health Service primary care settings. Public Health England monitors progress against the wide-ranging set of indicators published in the Public Health Outcomes Framework (PHOF) which shows that, as a whole, for the majority of PHOF indicators the trends in England are either broadly constant or have improved in comparison with 2014.</p> answering member constituency Winchester answering member printed Steve Brine question first answered 29/11/2018 16:05:11 answering member 4067 label Biography information for Steve Brine
