Sexual and Reproductive Health: Finance

Question

To ask Her Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Baroness Blackwood of North Oxford on 8 April (HL14988), what proportion, if any, of the £3 billion ring-fenced public health funding local authorities must spend on sexual health services.

Answer

Regulation 6 of The Local Authorities (Public Health Functions and Entry to Premises by Local Healthwatch Representatives) Regulations 2013 requires local authorities to provide or make arrangements to secure the provision of open access sexual health services in their area. The precise level of spending on sexual health services is a matter for individual local authorities, reflecting local need.
