Hertfordshire County Council is expected to explore further opportunities to increase the number of “opportunistic” cervical screenings taking place in Hertfordshire’s Specialist Sexual Health Services.
The board said it would particularly focus on women who were not registered with a GP.
“There are opportunities to explore expanding the delivery of opportunistic cervical screening to ensure that higher risk women, who are not registered with a GP, have access to a cervical screening whilst receiving other sexual health support,” the report said.
“HCC are in discussion with NHS England regarding the contracting of this additional work.”
The screening data was included in a report on women’s health across the Hertfordshire and West Essex ICS, that focussed on work to establish women’s health hubs.
