Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask Her Majesty’s Government what sexual and reproductive health and rights Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) indicators they will report on in the 2030 SDG voluntary national review.
The Government is considering when to volunteer for its first national review of the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals and the indicators this will cover.
The Department already monitors and publishes outcome data on sexual and reproductive health. There are three sexual health indicators in the Public Health Outcomes Framework on reducing under-18 conceptions, the chlamydia detection rate and reducing late diagnoses of HIV. Public Health England has produced a tool known as the Sexual and Reproductive Health Profiles, which is only available online, to monitor the sexual and reproductive health of the population at national, regional and local levels.
