The HSE Sexual Health Crisis Pregnancy Programme (SHCPP) is a national programme, within the HSE, with responsibility for sexual health and well-being. It has five core functions (Clinical, Funding, Education and Training, Research, and Communications) which lead on the development and implementation of the national strategic goals outlined in the National Sexual Health Strategy (NSHS).
An independent review of the NSHS was published in 2023, finding that a large majority of the actions had been successfully progressed. Working in partnership with communities and service users was a key element in the success of the first Strategy.
As this is a service matter, I have asked the Health Service Executive to respond to the Deputy directly, as soon as possible.
