Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what assessment his Department has made of the availability of online and in-person sexual and reproductive health services in England.
No national assessment has been made. However, services have remained open throughout the pandemic through the increase of digital services, including telephone and internet consultations, in addition to continuing face-to-face appointments for urgent or complex cases. The forthcoming Sexual and Reproductive Health Strategy will set out plans to work with system partners to ensure the availability of a blended service delivery model, including consistent and appropriate access to online and face-to-face services.
