Oral question asked in the House of Lords, by Baroness Lockwood (Labour). It was answered on Tuesday, 21 November 2006.


Health: Syphilis

Question
My Lords, what steps is the department taking to ensure that money given to sexual health services in primary care trusts is being used for sexual health services?
Answer

My Lords, I repeat to my noble friend what I said earlier. We have put more money in. It is a requirement that there are plans for spending that money in PCT local development plans. It is for strategic health authorities to monitor the performance of primary care trusts in this area and to ensure that their performance continues to improve the sexual health services in their area.
