Local councils are increasingly offering a range of options including online testing to improve choice and convenience, with almost a fifth of chlamydia tests now accessed online and there are many schemes that offer free condoms to young people, gay men and other higher risk groups.</p> answering member printed Baroness Blackwood of North Oxford question first answered 10/07/2019 15:10:32 answering member 4019 label Biography information for Baroness Blackwood of North Oxford
