Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask Her Majesty's Government what representations they have made, if any, to the government of the United States to use the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s COVID-19 Business Response Facility to provide conditional grants to private healthcare companies to ensure that healthcare is freely accessible to low-income and disadvantaged groups.

How the US manages its domestic COVID response is a matter for the US authorities. However, the UK remains in regular contact at the highest levels with our US partners on our joint response to the global COVID-19 pandemic, including discussions on how to deliver a global health response that provides support for the most vulnerable.
