Health Sector Assistance

Andrew George
To ask the Secretary of State for International Development what recent representations his Department has received from developing countries regarding health sector assistance.

Mr. Thomas
DFID receives a variety of representations from groups and organisations seeking support. However, most of our development assistance is managed through DFID’s country offices, who are in daily contact with developing country partners, non-governmental organisations and civil society in-country. We are therefore unlikely to receive formal representations as such because we keep in regular contact regarding health sector development and assistance through our strong in-country partnerships.
