Commenting on the IAG report on Choosing Health money (£300 million) used to plug the NHS deficit, Nick Partridge, Chief Executive of Terrence Higgins Trust said:

"Local health services managers are going to have to be extremely innovative if they're going to make the necessary improvements to sexual health services without the help of the Choosing Health money. Front line services need thorough modernisation in order to begin to tackle rates of sexually transmitted infections. 

"It would be a great disappointment if the nation's sexual health were sacrificed on the altar of financial balance in the NHS."
