Review of the National Chlamydia Screening Programme (12th November 2009)
In December 2008, the Department of Health asked Dr Ruth Hussey, Regional Director of Public Health in the North West, to review the impact of the National Chlamydia Screening Programme and whether the programme is achieving its aims. Dr Hussey's report makes comments on the current programme arrangements, support and drive for delivery. The report is for information so that the NHS can benefit from awareness of the recommendations. We will take forward the recommendations in conjunction with the Public Accounts Committee recommendations that will be published early next year.

Young People's sexual health: the National Chlamydia Screening Programme (12th November 2009)
The delivery of the Government’s programme to control chlamydia infection in young people to date has not demonstrated value for money, a report by the National Audit Office found today. The Department of Health implemented the Programme in three phases. In 2008-09, six years after the Programme’s launch, testing levels were only just beginning to reach the point where they are likely to significantly reduce the prevalence of chlamydia. The devolved delivery, through Primary Care Trusts, has resulted in duplication and inefficiency.
