Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how many and what proportion of sexual health clinics in England (a) continued and (b) ceased offering face-to-face testing during the covid-19 outbreak; and of those that ceased offering face-to-face testing, how many and what proportion have restored that service as of 23 May 2022.

The information is not held in the format requested. However, of the 3,482,700 consultations at sexual health services in England in 2020, 62% were delivered face-to-face, 30% online and 8% via the telephone.
