HC Deb 12 March 2004 vol 418 cc1829-30W
Simon Hughes

To ask the Secretary of State for Health what estimate he has mad, of the number of people who have contracted(a) a sexually transmitted disease, (b) HIV/AIDS and (c) Hepatitis in each London borough since 1995.[159198]

Mr. Hutton

Information on the numbers of diagnoses of sexually transmitted diseases made in each London primary care trust (PCT) between 1995 and 2002 have been placed in the Library. These data are not collected by London borough. The number of diagnoses made within each PCT does not reflect people who are resident within that PCT.

Information on the number of individuals with diagnosed HIV infection resident in each London local authority between 2000 and 2002 has also been placed in the Library. Data earlier than 2000 are not available.

Information on the numbers of cases of hepatitis B and C reported from London between 1995 and 2003, together with an estimate of the number sexually acquired, has also been placed in the Library. This information is not routinely collected by London borough or PCT.
