Proceeding contribution from Tom Brake (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Monday, 20 May 2019. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Ebola Outbreak: DRC.


Ebola Outbreak: DRC

I welcome the Secretary of State to his new role. He is perhaps that rare animal—a Minister who is respected on both sides of the House—so I wish him well. He will know that in 2014, the Ebola outbreak was classified as a public health emergency of international concern, as was the Zika outbreak in 2016. I assume that he is monitoring that. At what point does he think we might reach that stage, and what additional resources would that bring to tackle the outbreak?
