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\u2019s Ministerial correspondence unit only.<\/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>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4067", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Steve Brine"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Winchester"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Steve Brine"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2019-02-27", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2019-02-27T16:17:50.647Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "17"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Health and Social Care"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Health and Social Care"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2019-02-22", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Sexually Transmitted Infections: Screening"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what representations he has received in the last 12 months on the closure of physical clinics providing testing for sexually transmitted infections; what plans he has to encourage the use of online and postal testing services for sexually-transmitted infections; and if he will make a statement.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4244", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Jonathan Ashworth"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Leicester South"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Jonathan Ashworth"} ], "uin" : "224806"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/222593", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department of Health"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/222593/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "
National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) guidance on autism recommends a multi-disciplinary diagnostic pathway, involving different professionals according to the child\u2019s presentation, and it highlights that girls are an at-risk group for under-diagnosis.<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
Responsibility sits with clinical commissioning groups to ensure that diagnostic services are commissioned in their area in accordance with the NICE guidance.<\/p>
