Last year I made a new commitment to ending preventable deaths of mothers, new-born babies and children in the developing world by 2030. Prioritising access to healthcare for women and girls, including comprehensive sexual and reproductive health and rights, is fundamental to this agenda. In this work, we work closely with Marie Stopes International and they are a valued partner. I have no plans to review DFID funding at this point.
