Chlamydia Screening For Men
EDM number 361 in 2007-08, proposed by Howard Stoate on 22/11/2007.
Categorised under the topics of Diseases, Health education and preventive medicine and Health services.
That this House congratulates the Men's Health Forum for its campaign to raise levels of chlamydia screening amongst men; welcomes the National Chlamydia Screening Programme's publication of the Men Too strategy to support equitable access to chlamydia screening for men within the programme; notes that in 2006-07 only 21 per cent. of those screened under the programme were men; believes that it is vital to screen more men if chlamydia is to be brought under control and both men and women's reproductive health improved; further believes such screening will communicate that sexual health is a responsibility shared by men and women; and calls on the National Chlamydia Screening Programme to continue to work with the Men's Health Forum and other stakeholders to implement its strategy and ensure that men's sexual health is treated with the seriousness it deserves.
This motion has been signed by a total of 48 MPs.
