Info

Primary Care Groups have a crucial role in developing services to address the considerable estimated levels of unmet need for contraceptive services and sexual health advice for young people. This is through direct service provision, through developing appropriate services in partnership with Trusts including maximise the potential of school nurses, and the Voluntary Sector, and by streamlining the flow of information to the public about all aspects of sexual health services. In addressing the needs of teenage parents, there is a good service basis in terms of provision for under 16s. This needs to be built on to ensure the service is accessible to all who need it, and to address the needs of young parents aged 16-18. In doing this the importance of recognising the variety of circumstances and needs within the category ‘teenage parents’ is crucial. Finally, the role of the wider community is important if the underlying issues of open and direct communication about matters related to sexual health are to be addressed. Developmental work with parents is one part of this work. There is no doubt that the potential to both reduce teenage pregnancies and to promote the sexual health of our communities is there. We look forward to working locally and with others nationally to achieve an appropriate balance between specific targeted work, and an approach to young people as a whole. 21
Local Profile of Teenage Pregnancy Incidence at Local Authority Level Table 1 below shows the summary profile of the conception rate for girls under 16 within County Durham and Darlington. The rate for 1996 – 98 higher than the rate for England and Wales and it is higher than the rate for the Northern and Yorkshire Region. Analysis at the level of local authority is included. However, caution should be exercised in interpreting these figures as the numbers are small in any one year. That being said, both Wear Valley and Easington show the highest levels of conceptions in girls under 16.
