Ms McCafferty

To ask the Secretary of State for International Development, pursuant to her answer of 23 May 2000,Official Report, column 408W, on sexual and reproductive health projects, what proportion of the UK bilateral aid contributions for reproductive health care for the years (a) 1997, (b) 1998 and (c) 1999 were for (i) HIV/AIDS and (ii) family planning and reproductive health.

Clare Short

In many cases it is not practical to distinguish between the sexual and the reproductive health/family planning elements. There is also often no clear distinction between assisting with work in HIV/AIDS and in other sexual health issues. However, the following is an approximate breakdown of my Department's bilateral contributions to health/family planning and HIV/AIDS in 1997–99:

£ million
Reproductive health/family planning HIV/AIDS
1997 38 15
1998 42 16
1999 40 17
