Consultation has concluded
This consultation is now closed. You can read a summary of the results here.
Local councils have a duty to provide integrated sexual health services (ISHS) for their local population. In Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire (BNSSG) this includes free and confidential services such as contraception, condom distribution, testing and treatment of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) such as chlamydia and gonorrhoea, HIV prevention and testing, and abortion care.
Our current services (Unity Sexual Health) have been in place since 2017 and are provided by University Hospitals Bristol and Weston NHS Trust. We plan to commission new services from April 2025.
Why are we consulting?
We have already undertaken work to listen to and understand people’s experiences of current sexual and reproductive health services. This has helped us develop our plans for improved services for the future. We are now undertaking this consultation to find out from the public and other partners whether they agree with our proposed plans. We want to hear from you so we can identify and address problems or gaps in our plans.
By taking part in this survey you consent for your data (the information you share) to be held and processed by Bristol City Council in accordance with the Data Protection Act 2018, UK General Data Protection Regulations (UK GDPR) 2021. The information you provide is confidential and anonymous. It will only be used for the purposes of supporting the commissioners at Bristol City Council, North Somerset Council and South Gloucestershire Council to design new sexual health services that meet the needs of the local population. It is the intention of the commissioners at Bristol City Council, North Somerset Council and South Gloucestershire Council to share relevant, non-personal data with each other for this purpose. It will not be published or passed on to any other council or external organisation. The privacy statements for each Council are available at the links below:
