Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps his Department is taking to (a) publish and (b) implement a PrEP Action Plan.
As part of the HIV Action Plan, we committed to supporting the system to continue to improve access to HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) for key population groups. We established a sub group of the HIV Action Plan implementation Steering Group who have considered how to improve access to HIV PrEP for all population groups and in settings outside of specialist sexual health services. The findings from the sub group alongside research evidence on why some population groups who would benefit from PrEP are under-represented are informing the development of a plan for improving access to PrEP.
