Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask Her Majesty’s Government what were the reasons for their decision to reduce funding for the national HIV prevention programme in England by half for the year commencing in April 2015; and what plans they have for the programme from 2016 onwards.
We have no plans to reduce funding for the national HIV prevention programme for 2015-16.
Plans for the national HIV prevention programme beyond 2016 will be subject to decisions arising from the next comprehensive spending review.
