Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Stephen Hammond and Anna Turley

Thursday 25th April 2019 Commons Chamber

[The Minister for Health (Stephen Hammond)]

My hon. Friend is exactly right. The evidence is clear that the MMR vaccine is safe and effective. Mums and dads should ensure that their children are vaccinated.

[Anna Turley (Redcar) (Lab/Co-op)]

T5. EVA Women’s Aid in my constituency, which deals with nearly 1,000 vulnerable women a year, has had its rape and sexual abuse support fund grant cut, forcing it to look to close services. Will the Minister join me in urging her colleagues at the Ministry of Justice, which funds the organisation, to reconsider these cuts before crucial services to vulnerable women in Redcar and Cleveland are lost?
