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.
