Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether the national sexual and reproductive health strategy will address (a) sexual health inequalities (b) stigma and discrimination.
The development of the national sexual health and reproductive health strategy was paused during the COVID-19 pandemic. Now that we are moving forward with the Government’s COVID-19 recovery strategy, work on the strategy will be restarting shortly. We will consider issues around inequalities, tackling stigma and discrimination and other relevant issues as part of the strategy development.
