Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask Her Majesty's Government what will be the process for drafting the national sexual and reproductive health strategy.
Work on the development of a new national sexual and reproductive health strategy is underway, with the Department working with Public Health England, NHS England and NHS Improvement, local government and other partners. Initial engagement with stakeholders has already taken place and we are also considering the responses to the Green Paper Advancing our Health along with suggestions for priority areas for the new strategy we received through the consultation process. Details of the strategy’s scope, plans for more formal engagement with external organisations, timing of publication and implementation will be announced in due course.
