Recommendation 3

Paragraph: 30
Increase public health grant to local authorities for effective sexual health services and STI testing.
Recommendation
The Government must radically increase the public health grant to local authorities to a level that allows sexual health services to operate effectively and meet local need. This must include the provision of face-to-face consultations to those who need them, within 48 hours, and universal access to free postal STI testing. Booking appointments and access to online testing should be made available via smartphone app.
