Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, with reference to the finding of the Health Foundation's Paper entitled Why greater investment in the public health grant should be a priority, published on 5 October 2021, that there has been a 14 per cent reduction in sexual health funding between 2015 to 2020, if he will make it his policy to increase funding for sexual health services.

We have allocated more than £3 billion to local authorities in England to fund public health services in 2021/22, including sexual and reproductive health. The forthcoming Spending Review will set out funding for these services in future years.
