Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, if he will provide funding to review the cases of people recently diagnosed with HIV in order to identify any opportunities which may have been missed to prescribe PrEP.

The HIV Action Plan commits to improve uptake and access to pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP), including maintaining £23 million through the Public Health Grant and increasing innovation in the delivery of and equity of access to PrEP for population groups. In 2022/23, we have allocated more than £3.4 billion to local authorities in England to fund public health services through the Public Health Grant, including sexual health services. Local authorities are responsible for commissioning comprehensive, open access sexual health services to meet local demand, including HIV testing and access to PrEP.
