To ask Her Majesty's Government what steps they are taking to implement the proposals in Public Health England’s A consensus statement: reproductive health is a public issue, published on 26 June.
Public Health England (PHE) has created a task and finish group made up of representatives from organisations across the sector including the Department, NHS England, the Local Government Association, the Association of Directors of Public Health, the Faculty of Sexual and Reproductive Health, the Royal College of General Practitioners, the Royal College of Nursing, the Royal College of Midwives, the Royal College of Gynaecology, Brook, and the Family Planning Association. The task and finish group will work together to inform the development and implementation of the reproductive health action plan. Alongside this, PHE is also working with a user reference group, made up of women who have experienced severe reproductive health issues in order to ensure the action plan reflects service users’ needs. The action plan is due to be published in March 2019.
In addition, PHE’s regional centres are developing an approach for localising the national research conducted and developing locally appropriate actions in addition to those being driven nationally. PHE are consulting with commissioners and providers in developing the action plan through workshops and presentations across the country and to ensure implementation of the action plan from 2019 onwards.
