HC Deb 27 October 1994 vol 248 cc832-3W
Ms Primarolo

To ask the Secretary of State for Health is she will list the family planning initiatives taken by her Department in the last 10 years which are aimed at men.

Mr. Sackville

The "Health of the Nation" strategy includes the clear objective for the national health service to ensure the provision of well-publicised and effective family planning services for those people who want them. That applies equally to men as to women.

The Department of Health funds a number of voluntary organisations which are working to ensure that the needs of men are addressed along with those of women.
