Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what assessment has he made on the potential merits of funding for opt-out HIV testing across the NHS.
We set out our plans for increasing HIV testing across the National Health Service in the HIV Action Plan, which was published on 1 December. The HIV Action Plan sets out actions to achieve the interim target of an 80% reduction in transmissions in England by 2025 and our forthcoming plans to improve support available to people who are lost to care and not currently accessing treatment.
