Projects
The London Sexual Health Programme (LSHP) supported London PCTs to achieve 18.1% overall Chlamydia screening coverage in 2008-09, the highest screening coverage in England and major improvement from 2008-07 screening coverage of 4.9%. Although this was based on 15 PCTs achieving (or over-) the target and still 16 PCTs did not meet the target.
The LSHP supported PCTs and Genito-Urinary Medicine clinics (GUMs) to maintain 48hr GUM access target- including support with DH National Support Team visits to Bexley, Bromley, Harrow, Sutton and Merton, Haringey and Enfield PCTs.
The LSHP supported PCTs to achieve the London HIV prevention performance target with commissioning best practice and learning sets so that over 60% achieved their trajectories.
The LSHP and Government Offices of London Teenage Pregnancy Unit worked jointly to reduce under-18 conception rate and improve sexual health of young people in region. London having highest abortion rate at 27 per 1000 women aged 15-44 in 2008-09 as well as highest repeat abortion rate 31% aged under-25 and 19% aged-under19, LSHP created a working group to improve contraception provision and tackle high abortion rate.
