HC Deb 24 April 1991 vol 189 cc454-5W
24. Mr. Harry Greenway

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he has any plans to send medical aid to Poland; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Douglas Hogg

We have already done so, together with European Community partners. The EC provided £2.8 million of medical aid in 1990. The United Kingdom share was about 18 per cent. The EC has received no further requests for medical aid from the Polish Government.

Our bilateral health co-operation agreement with Poland promotes wide-ranging medical contacts. We have also supported several medical training projects under the know-how fund.
