	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/12/2018 answer text <p>Data collected on sexual health expenditure by local authority as part of the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government General Fund Revenue Account Outturn data on Social Care and Public Health service spend show that 94 of the 152 local authorities spent less on sexual health services in 2017-18 than in 2016-17.</p><p>Returns from the Sexual and Reproductive Health Activity Dataset (SRHAD) data show that in 2017-18, there was a reduced number of services in 49 local authority areas compared to 2016-17. Other services may provide contraception but not complete a SRHAD return. Ongoing reconfiguration of individual sexual and reproductive health services can vary which means that reduction in number of services need not necessarily equate to reduction in overall provision. Contraception is also widely available free of charge through general practice. No assessment has been made on the impact of these changes.</p><p>The Government has mandated local authorities in England to commission comprehensive open access sexual health services, including advice on, and reasonable access to, a broad range of contraceptive substances and appliances. It is for local authorities to assess and understand local needs, including assessing the impact locally of reductions due to service reconfiguration, and determine how funding is spent to deliver services that meet those needs.</p> answering member printed Lord O'Shaughnessy grouped question UIN HL12213 question first answered 20/12/2018 12:34:04 answering member 4545 label Biography information for Lord O'Shaughnessy

Local authorities are best placed to understand and meet the public health needs of their local communities. While councils have had to make savings, they have also shown that good results can be achieved at the same time.</p><p> </p><p>The total number of attendances at sexual health services nationally increased 13% between 2013 and 2017 (from 2,940,779 to 3,323,275). To help manage the overall increase in demand, local authorities have been utilising technology to manage lower risk and asymptomatic patients. Free, confidential online services which are convenient for patients are increasingly being commissioned. As these services develop, they also have the potential to reach groups not currently engaged with clinical services.</p> answering member constituency Winchester answering member printed Steve Brine question first answered 15/11/2018 12:36:01 answering member 4067 label Biography information for Steve Brine
