answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/02/2019 answer text <p>We have identified one item of correspondence received since 1 February 2018 about the closure of physical clinics providing testing for sexually-transmitted infections. This figure represents correspondence received by the Department’s Ministerial correspondence unit only.</p><p> </p><p>The Government has mandated local authorities to commission comprehensive open access sexual health services, including sexually transmitted infection testing and treatment. Local authorities are utilising technology, such as online and postal testing services for sexually-transmitted infections, to manage lower risk and asymptomatic patients. As these services develop, they also have the potential to reach groups not currently engaged with clinic services. The expansion of digital services increases patient choice and service accessibility but local authorities must still meet their open access mandate and ensure that appropriate walk-in and appointment only physical services are still available to anyone wishing to use them.</p> answering member constituency Winchester answering member printed Steve Brine question first answered 27/02/2019 16:17:50 answering member 4067 label Biography information for Steve Brine
