Proceeding contribution from Gareth Thomas (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 7 May 2008. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Democratic Republic of Congo (Development).


Democratic Republic of Congo (Development)

Is my hon. Friend aware that perhaps one of the most ambitious aims in the DRC is to begin to introduce free health care. Hon. Members will be aware of how difficult that ambition is, so I do not want to suggest that it will be an easy challenge, but we have begun to put in place the programmes to build the capacity for such support. Is my hon. Friend aware of that, and does he support it as part of the right approach to begin to end some of the terrible experiences that the DRC's people have suffered?
