While we are investigating the early access model of support, there are no current plans to create such a network. In England, there are approximately 60 ‘hubs’ offering early intervention and prevention services. They are locally designed and funded and often provide several different services such as sexual health clinics or careers advice. Clinical commissioning groups and local authorities work with local partners to understand local needs and commission services on that basis.
