Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps he will take to ensure ease of access to chlamydia screening services.

Local authorities monitor the performance of local sexual health contracts. This information is not collected by Public Health England (PHE).

It is the responsibility of local authorities to ensure ease of access to chlamydia screening. PHE supports local areas through facilitated chlamydia care pathway workshops. These workshops enable local commissioners and providers to explore and review local chlamydia activities, and create data driven action plans to improve service provision and outcomes.
