To ask the Secretary of State for International Development
(1) what (a) new and (b) additional resources in respect of the pledge made by her predecessor at the family planning summit of June 2012 have been programmed for the provision of such services;
(2) if she will place in the Library a copy of the plan for expenditure in the next two years in support of her Department's family planning initiative announced in June 2012.
At the London Summit on Family Planning in July 2012, the UK announced its commitment to double its efforts on family planning, from an average of £90 million per year to an average of £180 million per year (equivalent to an additional £516 million over eight years) towards achieving the Summit goal.
The Department's plans for delivering results and measuring progress against health programmes up to 2015 are laid out in a series of Operational Plans. These are available online at:
In addition, the Department is exploring new partnerships with multilateral partners, civil society and the private sector to deliver the family planning results that we want to achieve. As specific programmes are approved, they will be made publically available via the DFID website, alongside annual reviews of progress.
