Chlamydia Infection: Screening

Volume 459: debated on Wednesday 2 May 2007

To ask the Secretary of State for Health pursuant to the answer of 12 March 2007, Official Report, column 120W, on chlamydia infection: screening, what percentage of primary care trusts participated in the chlamydia screening programme in the most recent period for which figures are available; and which primary care trusts are not participating in the programme. (131888)

To the end of December 2006, we had 45 per cent. of primary care trusts reporting data to the Health Protection Agency (HPA). This is an additional 2 per cent. to the 43 per cent. I gave in my reply on 12 March 2007 and covers 35 programme areas. More programme areas have started screening since then. The data for the January to March 2007 quarter will be reported to the HPA at the end of April.

The primary care trusts that have not reported data to the HPA are given in the following list.
