HIV/AIDS: Health Services

Asked by Daisy CooperLiberal DemocratDepartment of Health and Social CareTabled Answered 14 October 2024UIN 6527

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether any HIV peer support services were (a) wholly or (b) partially funded by the public purse in 2023-24

Answered by Andrew Gwynne

The Adult service specification for people living with HIV sets out the requirement for HIV services to ensure that people living with HIV have access to emotional and psychological support, including peer support. However, NHS England Specialised Commissioning does not directly commission HIV peer support services and does not hold any information or data on whether HIV peer support services have been wholly or partially funded by local National Health Service health systems.
