Response

On 6th June, we provided further clarification to our original response:

In our original response, we stated: "We don’t have any clinics within RBWM Borough boundary, our Sexual Health Service is an East Berkshire shared service, that has clinics in Slough and Bracknell."

This statement remains true in a strictly geographical sense. However, after further discussion with the other members of the shared Sexual Health Service, we wish to clarify that the Slough and Bracknell clinics are available for all East Berkshire residents to use. Therefore, for all practical purposes, the answer to how many SH clinics are in RBWM (and all other participating boroughs) is two, not zero as our initial response implied.

We apologize for any confusion this may have caused.
