In its submission to the Health and Social Care Committee’s (HSC) sexual health inquiry, FSRH provides evidence on cuts to sexual and reproductive health (SRH) care services as voiced by its membership, highlighting the effects it has had on the workforce. FSRH stresses the role of Government in strengthening local authorities’ (LAs) SRH mandate.
The key messages that FSRH conveyed in its submission focus on:
Prevention: there is good evidence that investing in public health and SRH accrues savings across health and social care systems. For example, Public Health England (PHE) estimates that for every £1 spent on publicly-funded contraceptive services saves £9 across the public sector.
