The Government is committed to developing a Sexual and Reproductive Health Strategy, which we plan to publish in 2021. Development of the Sexual and Reproductive Health Strategy will be separate from the Women’s Health Strategy. However, Departmental officials are working closely together to ensure coherence between the Sexual and Reproductive Health and Women’s Health Strategies.

Whilst details of the scope of the Sexual and Reproductive Health Strategy will be announced in due course, the topics considered for inclusion are broader than those that only affect women and we will be taking a whole population approach.
