Description
The aim of This service is to improve the sexual health of young people and women in general, by integrating Emergency Hormonal Contraception (EHC), Chlamydia screening / treatment and provision of free condoms. This approach provides a bundle of complimentary services, with each component reinforcing a sexual health message that aims to prevent unplanned conceptions and subsequent abortions, screen and treat the most common sexually transmitted infection, and provide condoms for safer sex.
All six local authorities still commission the EHC element of the service but Reading Council, Bracknell Forest Council and Slough council withdrew the chlamydia element of the service in February 2016.
