Accepted
Improve collaboration across sexual healthcare for young people, supported by a national strategy.
Recommendation
The provision of sexual health services is fragmented across the health system and can be complex to navigate.

These measures should be underpinned by a wider national strategy on sexual health. (Paragraph 36) The prevalence of sexually transmitted infections in young people and other high risk groups 29
