Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps she is taking to ensure sexual health clinics can continue to deliver a full range of services alongside delivering the monkeypox vaccination programme.

We are working with the UK Health Security Agency, local authorities, NHS England and other stakeholders to identify how local health and care systems can manage pressures on sexual health services and maintain access in addition to delivering the monkeypox vaccination programme. Local authorities will receive more than £3.4 billion in 2022/23 for public health responsibilities, including sexual health services.
