Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what discussions he is having with local health commissioners on the pause in recruitment for gay and bisexual men on the PrEP impact trial at Conifer-Wilberforce Health Centre, Hull.

Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is currently provided in England through the three-year PrEP Impact Trial. Participation in the trial is on a voluntary basis and it is for clinics and local authorities to decide the number of allocated places they can accept. The Department has held no discussions with local health commissioners in relation to the pause in recruitment for gay and bisexual men on the PrEP impact trial at Conifer-Wilberforce Health Centre or access to the trial in Kingston upon Hull West and Hessle constituency.
