Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what the (a) reporting arrangements and (b) publication schedule will be for monitoring the Government's progress towards (i) ending new HIV transmissions in England by 2030, (ii) reducing new HIV transmissions in England by 80 per cent by 2025 and (iii) implementing the recommendations of the independent HIV Commission as part of the Government's National HIV Action Plan.

The Government remains committed to reaching zero new HIV transmissions in England by 2030. Careful consideration will be given to the recommendations made in the independent HIV Commission’s recently published report on reaching the 2030 target, including the recommendations on the interim milestone of an 80% reduction in new HIV transmissions by 2025, as we develop the Sexual and Reproductive Health Strategy and HIV Action Plan, which we plan to publish in 2021.
