It will also seek approval to novate these contracts to Leeds Community Healthcare NHS Trust who will contract management them as part of the integrated sexual health service contract (YORE-96TER5).
The two sexual health contracts with GPs provide services for the fitting, monitoring, checking and removal of contraceptive implants and IUCDs. The pharmacy contract provides emergency contraception services.
