(Report of the Director of Adult, Culture and Community Services)  To provide an update on the local implementation of the National Sexual Health and HIV Strategy.

The committee was provided with an update on the local implementation of the National Sexual Health and HIV Strategy.  Members were pleased to note significant progress being made against the action plan and good partnership working taking place with Health colleagues.
