Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, if he will make an assessment of the implications for his policies of the finding by Public Health England in its report, Contraception: Economic Analysis Estimation of the Return on Investment (ROI) for publicly funded contraception in England, published in June 2018, that the return on investment over 10 years on publicly provided contraception is £9 in savings for every £1 spent.

No specific assessment has been made. However, the Government recognises the significant Return on Investment on publicly funded contraception.

We are committed to ensuring the public receive the best possible contraceptive services and we continue to provide funding for these essential services through the GP Contract and Public Health Grant.
