HC Deb 25 February 2002 vol 380 c979W
Mr. Hepburn

To ask the Secretary of State for Health how the sexual health strategy aims to reduce teenage pregnancy rates in South Tyneside. [26042]

Yvette Cooper

The sexual health and HIV strategy is distinct from the teenage pregnancy strategy and considers the sexual health needs of all age groups. However, its main aims of improving the information provided for the public and modernising sexual health services will support implementation of the South Tyneside local teenage pregnancy strategy, which aims to halve the local under 18 conception rate by 2010.
