<p>There were 1,773 new sexually transmitted infection diagnoses made at three genitourinary
medicine clinics (GUM) in Lancashire in 2015: St. Peter’s Health Centre (44.8%), Royal
Preston Hospital (35.5%) and Ashton Community Care Centre (19.7%).</p><p>There is
no data on the number of people treated, as GUM clinics provide treatment whenever
it is clinically indicated and, therefore, are not required to specifically report
the number of cases treated.</p><p>Data are provided by the GUM clinics through their
returns to the genitourinary medicine clinic activity dataset (GUMCADv2) held by Public
Health England (not the hospitals). Data from general practice surgeries are not available.</p>
