Genito-urinary Medicine: Lancashire

(asked on 13th September 2016) - View Source

Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health, which (a) NHS hospitals, (b) clinics and (c) surgeries in Lancashire have treated sexually transmitted diseases; and how many people were treated at each such institution in 2015.


This question was answered on 11th October 2016

There were 1,773 new sexually transmitted infection diagnoses made at three genitourinary medicine clinics (GUM) in Lancashire in 2015: St. Peter’s Health Centre (44.8%), Royal Preston Hospital (35.5%) and Ashton Community Care Centre (19.7%).

There is no data on the number of people treated, as GUM clinics provide treatment whenever it is clinically indicated and, therefore, are not required to specifically report the number of cases treated.

Data are provided by the GUM clinics through their returns to the genitourinary medicine clinic activity dataset (GUMCADv2) held by Public Health England (not the hospitals). Data from general practice surgeries are not available.
