Below is a link to a review of Sexual Health Services.

This review included a full health needs assessment and consultation with current providers, current and potential service users and the public. The feedback from the consultation and the Health Needs Assessment informed our proposals for the future commissioning of the sexual health services, which we consulted on during July 2016.
