PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
HIV Infection: Mental Health Services (23 March 2021)

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what assessment he has made of the potential merits of undertaking a review of the provision of mental health support services for people living with HIV as part of the HIV Action Plan.

Asked by:
Dr Rosena Allin-Khan (Labour)

We would expect treatment services, such as HIV clinics, to take patients’ mental health needs into account as part of their overall care. Evidence related to people living with HIV and mental health will be considered as we develop our Sexual and Reproductive Health Strategy and the HIV Action Plan, which we plan to publish in 2021.
