Inquiry scope (the committee's words)
This session will examine concerns about the implication of ODA funding cuts on the world health architecture. These cuts, it is argued, increase the risks of costly health emergencies and trends affecting the UK and the world. The first panel will bring together leading experts in global health, giving the Committee the opportunity to further understand the risks and opportunities to the UK. The second panel will explore the extent to which UK ministers understand the risks and are addressing them through UK policy.
