Presented by: Councillor Gillian Ford, Cabinet Member for Health and Adult Care services

Summary:

This paper seeks Cabinet approval of the North East London Joint Sexual & Reproductive Health Strategy (2024-2029), and of proposed governance arrangements for the development and implementation of an accompanying local action plan. The strategy aims to support the delivery of a high quality, easy access and equitable sexual and reproductive health offer across the North East London, strengthening existing joint working practices to deliver best outcomes for local residents.
