Our global Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights programme &quot;WISH&quot; complements this programme, providing lifesaving services across refugee camps in the region. While hampered by the communications blackout, we are in close contact with Family Planning by Choice, WISH and our wider set of health and humanitarian partners to establish the status of ongoing UK-funded activities and understand changing needs, including Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights. We have worked with the UN on response planning, which includes commitment to minimum initial services package for emergency reproductive health. We are working to secure humanitarian access to deliver further assistance.</p><p>Globally, the UK remains firmly committed to supporting the Minimum Initial Service Package for Reproductive Health in Crises and this year provided UNFPA with an additional £10 million for lifesaving SRH services as part of the global humanitarian response plan to COVID-19.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 02/12/2020 12:44:17 question first ministerially corrected 16/12/2020 15:35:03 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon previous answer version 65866 answering member printed Baroness Sugg answering member 4584
