To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what steps his Department have taken to support Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh since January 2023.

The UK has been a leading donor to the Rohingya response in Bangladesh, providing a total of £362 million of support since 2017. Minister Trevelyan visited Bangladesh in March this year and announced £5.26 million to support the World Food Programme and UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR) to feed 449,000 people and provide pressure cookers to reduce the consumption of cooking gas. In May, the UK announced £2.3 million to support healthcare, shelter rebuilding and site management for refugees and host communities in the aftermath of Cyclone Mocha.

Written Question

Health Services: Hygiene

Friday 26th May 2023

Asked by: Dan Carden (Labour - Liverpool, Walton)

Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, with reference to the joint report from the APPG for Water, Sanitation and Hygiene and the APPG on Antibiotics entitled Prevention first: why clean water and hygiene are the best medicine against the spread of drug-resistant infections, published February 2023, what steps the Department is taking to help improve water, sanitation and hygiene in healthcare facilities to prevent antibiotic resistance.

Answered by Andrew Mitchell - Minister of State (Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office) (Minister for Development)

The FCDO recognises the importance that clean water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) in healthcare facilities has in preventing the spread of infection and reducing the need for antimicrobials globally.

The UK helped found the WASH In Healthcare Facilities international taskforce, and we push forward this agenda through our programming such as our innovative hand hygiene partnership with Unilever and through our core multilateral funding including to the World Bank and the World Health Organisation. At UN Water 2023 the UK announced £18.5 million of new funding to help strengthen WASH systems, an important step for helping improve WASH services in health care facilities.
