Scottish sexual health strategy launched
A new sexual health strategy has been published by the Scottish Executive.
The strategy is described as an action plan to improve sexual health
in Scotland and will be supported by £15m of new funding over the
next three years. A national sexual health advisory committee is being
created to lead the redesign of services. The aim is to improve access.
This will begin with two seminars for those involved in providing services,
the first of which is to be held next week. Health minister Andy Kerr
commented: “The strategy will directly tackle the causes behind
the incidence of sexually transmitted infections across all age groups
and unintended teenage pregnancies. We must encourage people to talk
about sexual health.”
