NHS: Sexual Health Strategy

Introduction

Number of researches has proved that the impacts of such diseases are more common among the mental health patients and they are more likely to become victims. Due to such complicated issue, the National Health Services in United Kingdom has taken multiple steps to tackle the problems, however, are facing many difficulties during the process.
