Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how many sexual health screenings have been undertaken in sexual health clinics in each year since 2013.
In England 7,373,761 sexually transmitted infection (STI) tests were carried out in 2013; 7,604,000 were carried out in 2014; 7,778,264 were carried out in 2015; 7,808,902 were carried out in 2016 and 7,772,537 were carried out in 2017. Data on testing for hepatitis A/B/C and herpes simplex virus are not available prior to 2015. Therefore, the STI testing total from 2015 onwards is not directly comparable to data from previous years.
Data are not available by sexual health clinic.
