Sexual Health Services in England
Status: Open
Opened: 22 Oct 2025
Inquiry scope
This evidence session will explore how sexual and reproductive health services in England can adapt to changing population demographics, behaviours, and technological developments. It will take a systems-focused approach, examining the impact of funding pressures, fragmented commissioning, and rising demand on service delivery and innovation. The session aims to assess how services can remain effective and accessible, particularly for at-risk groups, considering evolving trends such as changes in STI rates, shifts in contraceptive use, and the influence of digital platforms. It will consider the need for strategic coordination and improved data to support future planning. This session will focus on: How sexual health services are responding to shifts in population demographics and behaviours. Effective strategies to reduce inequalities and improve access to services. How sexual health services can be supported to take advantage of new technologies and innovations. How a national sexual health strategy may improve resilience for existing services and the future of commissioning.Oral evidence sessions
