Development Aid: Health

Asked by Wendy MortonConservativeForeign, Commonwealth and Development OfficeTabled Answered 23 June 2025UIN 59021

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, with reference to the Spending Review 2025, published on 11 June 2025, how much funding will be available to support the UK’s global health security objectives in this spending review period; and what programmes this will be spent on.

Answered by Stephen Doughty

We will publish Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office's (FCDO) final 2025/26 Official Development Assistance (ODA) programme allocations in the Annual Report & Accounts in July. Over the coming months, we will work through detailed decisions on how the ODA budget will be used in future years, informed by internal and external consultation and impact assessments, ahead of publishing indicative multi-year allocations in the autumn. We continue to work across Government and with our international partners to strengthen health security. The UK's role in helping secure the recent adoption of the Pandemic Agreement is a good example of that collective effort.
