Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what estimate she has made of the number of sexual health clinics which offer cryotherapy treatment.

Dedicated local sexual health services play a key public health role in diagnosis, early treatment, and management of sexually transmitted infections, cryotherapy being one form of treatment for genital warts. Individual local authorities are responsible for commissioning decisions about the sexual health services, to best meet the needs of their local populations, including providing open-access sexual health testing and treatment services. The Department has not assessed the number of sexual health clinics which offer cryotherapy treatment.
