To ask the Secretary of State for Health how many (a) men and (b) women have been diagnosed with chlamydia in each of the last 20 years.
Genitourinary medicine (GUM) clinics provide the best available data on sexually transmitted infections and reported cases of uncomplicated genital chlamydial infection from 1990 are shown in the table. There are no data for chlamydial infection before 1990 as cases were included in the category "non specific urethritis".
Year | Male cases | Female cases |
---|---|---|
1990 | 13,507 | 16,677 |
1991 | 13,694 | 16,630 |
1992 | 13,089 | 15,309 |
1993 | 12,168 | 14,053 |
1994 | 12,449 | 15,125 |
1995 | 12,761 | 16,525 |
1996 | 13,970 | 18,551 |
1997 | 16,255 | 22,742 |
1998 | 18,997 | 25,092 |
1999 | 21,858 | 29,378 |
2000 | 26,234 | 34,415 |
(20) These data are collected from GUM clinics and do not include cases diagnosed in other health care settings. These are aggregate not patient based data and so they are the number of reported cases not the actual numbers of males and females who have been diagnosed with uncomplicated genital chlamydial infection.
