<p>We continue to work with the UK Health Security Agency, local authorities and NHS
England to monitor the impact of monkeypox on sexual health services and maintain
access to routine sexual and reproductive health (SRH) services, including HIV pre-exposure
prophylaxis and contraception.</p><p>We have allocated more than £3 billion to local
authorities in England to fund public health services, including SRH services, through
the Public Health Grant in 2022/23. It is for individual local authorities to determine
spending priorities based on an assessment of local need, including for SRH services.
In addition, we have provided funding for antiviral medicines to treat monkeypox,
the procurement of the smallpox vaccine and for sexual health services to deliver
this vaccine to those eligible for vaccination.</p>
