Question to the Department for International Development:

To ask the Secretary of State for International Development, how many civil servants in her Department have work responsibilities relating to HIV and AIDS; and in which offices, teams or directorates those civil servants are located.

15 people in Policy Division currently work on sexual reproductive health and rights, to which HIV is central. 9 staff work in Global Funds Department, with institutions that are critical for our multilateral engagement on this issue. We have a cadre of 76 health advisers and 87 social development advisers, whose work regularly requires engagement with HIV issues, as will that of numerous other staff around the Department.
