Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government what steps they will take, together with other countries, to provide more paramedics to Ukraine, given the current short supply in that country.

The UK has provided £300,000 to the British NGO UK-Med, who specialise in the provision of medical services and training. As a result of our support, UK-Med has trained a total of 1363 participants (civilian, pre-hospital, clinical and non-clinical staff and surgeons) across Ukraine in advanced trauma and psychological first aid. The UK has also provided 11 million medical items to assist the health services of Ukraine, including wound care packs and medicine for pain management. We coordinate our support in regular dialogue with other countries and the UN.
