Information on employment at constituency level is not available at sector level.<\/p>

However, there is evidence to suggest that jobs within the green economy are spread widely throughout the UK. A report published by the Department for Business Innovation and Skills contains estimates of the number of jobs within the wider green economy and its supply chain for each of the twelve statistical regions of the UK. These estimates are summarised in Table 1 below.<\/p>

The UK is supporting the Social Mobilisation Action Consortium (SMAC) as part of its response to Ebola in Sierra Leone. This consortium focuses on achieving behaviour change to address a range of high risk practices to prevent and contain the spread of Ebola. Partners of the consortium, who include the Centre for Disease Control, provide technical advice on how to avoid infection. As well as avoiding contact with blood and bodily fluids of an infected person and ensuring safe funeral practices, this includes taking steps not to eat or handle bushmeat. We are also tracking knowledge of risk behaviours and transmission routes through a survey administered through the consortium in order to plan our behaviour change activities accordingly.<\/p>

The Chief Medical Officer wrote to National Health Service medical and nursing directors on 19 September seeking volunteers to help efforts on the ground in West Africa. Currently 886 NHS staff have put their names forward. Not all of them will be accepted and NHS trusts will have to agree to their staff taking special leave. Funding for backfilling these posts will be available to NHS trusts.<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

Additionally, a number of NHS staff are working as volunteers to tackle Ebola in West Africa. This is primarily done on an individual basis through voluntary and non-Government organisations.<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

The Department, with NHS England and others, will ensure that the NHS remains resilient going forward.<\/p>

I spoke to the President of Ghana and others in Government when I visited Ghana earlier this year about furthering economic development in the country. Those discussions included how we could help to foster growth in the agricultural sector in ways that will benefit poor farmers. I visited sites where DFID is supporting initiatives to do this.<\/p>

In Ghana, DFID has three projects whose primary aim is to enable poor farmers to earn more income. One is centred on two irrigation schemes that will benefit thousands of small-scale farmers. Another is an investment fund to help agricultural businesses. The third provides support to improve the way that markets work for poor people, concentrating on six agricultural products. DFID aims to ensure that 30,000 poor producers in Ghana have improved access to services by March 2016.<\/p>
