The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what data his Department holds on the number of men who live in areas without (a) universally accessible and (b) fully NHS funded vasectomy services.

Answered by Karin Smyth

The Department does not hold data on the number of men who live in areas without universally accessible and fully National Health Service funded vasectomy services.

NHS vasectomy services in England are commissioned locally by integrated care boards. In most parts of the country, vasectomy is available free of charge from the NHS.
