Health written question – answered at on 6 May 2009.
To ask the Secretary of State for Health which sexual health clinics have (a) applied for and (b) been granted the 'You're Welcome' quality mark.
The operating framework for the NHS in England 2009-10 (copies of which have already been placed in the Library) encourages local areas to implement 'You're Welcome' standards, which set out principles for all health care settings to ensure they are young people friendly.
The initial area of focus in the roll-out of 'You're Welcome' was to put in place a regionally based infrastructure to support primary care trusts and children's trusts to implement locally owned, sustainable arrangements for 'You're Welcome'. The focus now is on promoting uptake in both national health service and non-NHS provision through a wide reaching dissemination programme which has been put in place across the nine regions. The regions are prioritising sexual and reproductive health services during 2009-10.
To date, 41 health services have already applied for 'You're Welcome' quality mark. Of these, 32 are sexual health services, 16 of which have been granted the quality mark which are:
ARC at Stowe;
Bpas Leigham Clinic;
Brook Brixton;
Brook Liverpool;
Brook Manchester;
Brook Milton Keynes;
Brook Oldham;

CHYPS Plus;
