Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether his Department has made a comparative assessment between GP prescribing rates for long-acting reversible contraception and the fees paid to general practice to fit LARC per (a) integrated care system and (b) local authority.

No assessment has been made. Integrated care boards may commission general practitioners (GPs) to offer long-acting reversible contraception as an enhanced service to their local population, in addition to the contraception service provided through the GP contract.
