Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what assessment his Department has made of the potential merits of funding PrEP through section 7a of Public Health funding from April 2020.

Full results for the 36 month pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) Impact Trial will be available in early 2021. Meanwhile, work is now starting to consider future commissioning for PrEP after the trial has ended, which includes consideration of commissioning routes.
