The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether he has made an assessment of the potential merits of creating a new Sexual Health Strategy.

Answered by Andrew Gwynne

We are committed to improving sexual heath in England for the whole population, and are currently considering the next steps in doing so. My Rt hon. Friend, the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care has commissioned officials for advice on how to progress the development of a new HIV Action Plan, which we aim to publish by summer 2025.

The Government is also committed to prioritising women's health as we build a National Health Service fit for the future. We are considering how to take forward the Women's Health Strategy for England.
