UNIVERSAL ACCESS TO HIV SERVICES

Early day motion 183, tabled 12 November 2007 by Neil Gerrard (Labour). Signed by 153 members.

That this House welcomes the global commitment to achieve universal access to HIV prevention, treatment, care and support services by 2010; further welcomes the Prime Minister's speech to the UN General Assembly calling on all nations to keep their promises on tackling poverty and disease; notes the current formulation of a new three-year Government strategy to tackle HIV and AIDS in the developing world; believes that the UK Government should use this strategy to outline how it will keep its part of the promise to achieve universal access by 2010; including effectively providing its fair share of funding needed to keep the universal access commitment, proportionate to the UK's wealth, while also outlining concrete plans to promote affordable generic medicines and strengthen developing country health systems.
