Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:
To ask His Majesty's Government what plans they have, if any, to assist non-governmental humanitarian initiatives delivering medical aid to Ukraine by (1) helping identify recipient organisations; and (2) releasing surplus medical supplies in the United Kingdom which would otherwise go to waste.
The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office continues to support medical practitioners through funding partners in Ukraine. For example, the FCDO contributed to £320,000 of funding to the Superhumans War Trauma Centre in Ukraine last year. The clinic provides innovative rehabilitation services to people who have been impacted by war, including training surgeons on prosthetics. In addition, the Ukraine Red Cross Society, funded by UK assistance, provides specialised training at the Burns Unit in Kyiv.
Between 3 March 2022 and 31 December 2024 the UK Government matched £25 million of donations via the Disasters Emergency Committee Appeal.
