Effective commissioning of sexual health and HIV services: a sexual health and HIV commissioning toolkit for Primary Care Trusts and local authorities

This commissioning toolkit has been developed in response to the first national strategy for sexual health and HIV, and the implementation plan published by the Department of Health in June 2002. It represents a wide range of interests and views within sexual health and HIV services and aims to help and support Primary Care Trusts (PCTs) in exploring options for improving local services and the contribution they make to improving the sexual health of the population. The toolkit has been designed for PCT commissioning leads and those responsible for leading on sexual health within PCTs, local authorities, and service providers in statutory, voluntary and community sector organisations. Strategic Health Authorities will also find this toolkit useful.
