Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how much of the Ross Fund his Department has spent on tackling (a) tuberculosis, (b) malaria and (c) HIV/AIDS since that fund was established.

The Department has no projects funded through the Ross Fund Portfolio which exclusively address tuberculosis, malaria or HIV/AIDS. The Ross Fund Portfolio is spent cross-government and research programmes that address these diseases are currently managed by the Department for International Development.
