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

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what plans he has to ensure that mental health support is provided in HIV clinics that have no existing psychological or mental health provision.

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.
