HIV/AIDS: Health Services

Asked by Claire HannaSocial Democratic & Labour PartyDepartment of Health and Social CareTabled Answered 6 January 2025UIN 21067

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what discussions his Department has had with the devolved administrations on development of a new HIV Action Plan.

Answered by Andrew Gwynne

Health is a devolved matter and it is the responsibility of individual governments to commission comprehensive healthcare based on population need. All four nations, however, are committed to reducing HIV transmissions.

The new HIV Action Plan, which is due to be published in summer 2025, will apply to England only. Government officials in England meet regularly with their counterparts in the devolved governments, to share information and best practice on our response to HIV.
