Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether the forthcoming sexual and reproductive health strategy will include measures to ensure that ongoing training for the sexual health workforce is a core part of local service delivery requirements.

We will set out plans for sexual and reproductive health later this year. Individual National Health Service trusts are responsible for investing in post-registration training to ensure that staff can effectively deliver sexual and reproductive health services. In addition, Health Education England’s e-Learning for Healthcare includes a range of programmes and material which focus on sexual and reproductive health.
