The Government accepts these recommendations. The Women’s Health Strategy, published in 2022, highlights the importance of increasing access to Long-Acting Reversible Contraception (LARC) and aims to make it easier for women and girls to access appropriate contraception through initiatives like the Women’s Health Hubs. The Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) is currently in the process of refreshing the Women’s Health Strategy and intends to publish the refreshed strategy in early 2025. It will focus on the progress that has been made since 2022 and how we can further improve women’s health outcomes across England, including through improved access to LARC. The government is committed to ensuring women and girls have access to a full range of contraception, including LARC. The Department of Health and Social Care funds Public Health England (PHE) to produce national guidance on LARC prescribing. The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) also produces clinical guidelines on contraception, including LARC. The government acknowledges the need for an integrated approach to LARC provision and co-commissioning, as highlighted by the Committee. ICBs are responsible for commissioning integrated sexual health services (including LARC) and other reproductive health services. Integrated Care Boards (ICBs) and local authorities should work together to ensure that LARC services are accessible and responsive to the needs of their local populations. The refreshed Women’s Health Strategy will continue to support the expansion of women’s health hubs, which play a crucial role in improving access to LARC, and will explore ways to further integrate LARC provision into broader women’s health services.
