HIV Treatment

Proceeding contribution from Mike Freer (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 29 March 2017. It occurred during Debate on HIV Treatment.

I thank right hon. and hon. Members for their time this afternoon. This has been a constructive debate, and I thank the Minister specifically for the commitments on extending the ring fence, for recognising that work needs to be done on the commissioning model and with regard to the work that PHE will be doing on a new action plan to support the pilots in addressing fragmentation and specification. Those announcements were all very welcome.

We have come a long way from HIV/AIDS being a death sentence. It is now a manageable condition. That is largely to do with drug breakthroughs but, importantly, it has been delivered through a co-ordinated response both from Public Health England and the NHS. I hope that this debate will help to avoid undoing the progress that we have made.

Question put and agreed to.

Resolved,

That this House has considered the all-party parliamentary group report Impact of Health and Social Care Act on HIV treatment.
