Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what recent discussions he has had with relevant stakeholders on preparing the way for the use of injectable PrEP to prevent HIV.

There have been no recent discussions. As outlined in our HIV Action Plan published in December 2021, the Department’s Office for Health Improvement and Disparities will work with NHS England and NHS Improvement and other partners to monitor the potential use of injectable pre-exposure prophylaxis as the evidence to support its effectiveness becomes available.
