star this property answer text <p>Pre-exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) is a new use of HIV drugs which has shown clinical effectiveness in research trials at preventing HIV in people at high risk of getting HIV such as men who have sex with men (MSM) and people with HIV-positive partners. The drug used in the trials, Truvada, is not yet licenced for use as PrEP. Public Health England (PHE) has undertaken modelling work looking at cost-effectiveness of PrEP. Much depends on the price of the drugs and HIV prevalence in the target group. However, as with any new intervention, PrEP now needs to be properly assessed in relation to cost effectiveness to see how it could be commissioned in the most sustainable and integrated way and how it compares with other cost-effective approaches. The Department is considering this with PHE, NHS England and the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence.</p><p>A wide range of stakeholders were included in the initial work by NHS England on PrEP including the Department of Health, PHE, the Medical Research Council, voluntary organisations and Genitourinary and HIV Clinicians. NHS England will be building on the work to date by making available up to £2 million over the next two years to run a number of early implementer sites. These will be undertaken in conjunction with PHE.</p><p>The data on new HIV diagnosis is available in table 1a in the following link:</p><p><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/469321/National_Tables20102015.xls" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/469321/National_Tables20102015.xls</a></p><p>As part of the PROUD study, PHE has assessed how many men may be considered high risk but it is not possible to estimate how many would seek to access PrEP.</p>

The Government recognises the arguments for the need for a review, and we have therefore asked the Law Commission, as part of the consultation on its 13th work programme this summer, to consider including a project on surrogacy.</p><p> </p><p>The Department has not issued guidance about surrogacy to professional groups or the Children and Family Court Advisory and Support Service (CAFCASS). The Government recognises surrogacy as an important option for some people wishing to start a family and is currently considering how best to clarify the current legal arrangements for intended parents, surrogates and their families. The CAFCASS campaign to increase awareness of Parental Orders is ongoing and targeted at health workers, local authority registration staff and surrogacy agencies. It will be evaluated in full upon completion in autumn 2016; in-campaign monitoring indicates its messaging is reaching the target audience.</p>
