Family Planning

Volume 463: debated on Tuesday 24 July 2007

To ask the Secretary of State for Health (1) what assessment his Department has made of the effectiveness of provision of family planning services by primary care trusts; (150968)

(2) what steps he plans to take to implement the recommendations of the baseline review of contraceptive services.

We have undertaken a Baseline Review of Contraceptive Services 2005 (Contraceptive Services Audit) and published the findings on the 17 May 2007. We are developing best practice guidance on reproductive health care which will address the key issues arising from the review later this year.

A copy of the findings of the review has been placed in the Library. The findings are also available on the Department's website at:
