Integrated Sexual Health Service (ISHS)

Tender description

Local Authorities are responsible for the provision of an Integrated Sexual Health Service. Responsibilities include testing and treatment for sexually transmitted infections and provision of the full range of contraception. It is recognised that these services form part of a wider landscape of local provision. The Integrated Sexual Health Service supports our local population outcome which is that “all people in North Yorkshire experience good sexual health”. Residents of North Yorkshire will be supported in making informed, confident choices around their sexual health with a particular focus on prevention, and supporting young people and other at risk and vulnerable groups and communities from experiencing sexual ill-health. North Yorkshire County Council wishes York Teaching Hospital NHS Foundation Trust to continue to deliver an integrated sexual health service which provides effective, high quality, value for money services to its residents under a Section 75 Agreement.
