The current service specification for sexual and reproductive health services includes a quality outcome indicator to monitor the percentage of people contacting a service who are offered to be seen or assessed with an appointment or as a ‘walk-in’ within two working days of first contacting the service. The sexual and reproductive health strategy will set out commitments to ensure services continue to meet the needs of the local population.
