Swindon Sexual Health Service Public Consultation
Posted: September 2, 2020We are keen to hear your comments and feedback
Swindon Borough Council and the Great Western Hospital NHS
Foundation Trust would like to enter into Section 75 arrangements
to support the delivery of an Integrated Sexual Health
Service. We understand our residents want and deserve
the best possible public services, which protect and improve their
health and wellbeing. Section 75 of the NHS Act (2006) identifies
flexibilities which enables partnership agreements between the
National Health Service (NHS) and local authorities to provide
flexibility to respond effectively to improve services, either by
joining up existing or developing new, co-ordinated services.
Swindon Borough Council and the GWH have a long standing working
relationship for the delivery of public health services to improve
the health and wellbeing of the people of Swindon. If the
proposals being consulted on are supported, Swindon Borough Council
and the GWH will use Section 75 of the NHS Act (2006) to put in
place formal Section 75 Agreements for the provision of an
Integrated Sexual Health Service which includes:
Contraceptive and Reproductive Health Services
Outreach Services
Health promotion
Community Pharmacy Sexual Health Services
Swindon Borough Council and the GWH are keen to hear your
comments and feedback on this proposal. We are keen to hear
particularly from stakeholders who feel they may be affected by our
proposal. Please take a few minutes to complete this
survey.
