3 National Audit Offi ce Survey of Primary Care Trusts (PCTs) Introduction 1 Introduction Background and main fi ndings from the National Audit Offi ce (NAO) survey of Primary Care Trusts (PCTs) 1 The overall aim of the NAO s report Young people s sexual health: The National Chlamydia Screening Programme was to examine the value for money of the Programme. As part of this, the NAO conducted a census of all 152 Primary Care Trusts, via between April and June We received responses from 145 PCTs. 2 The NAO report examined whether the Programme will be able to achieve its stated aims of reducing the levels of chlamydia infection in the population and the related consequences of untreated infection; and whether the local delivery model, in which individual PCTs are free to devise and deliver testing and treatment services locally, is providing value for money. The census data supported our examination of the local delivery model. 3 The questionnaire was subject to review by the Health and Social Care Information Centre Review of Central Returns (ROCR) Committee, who considered the data collection to be useful and reasonable (reference ROCR-Lite/09/0001). The questionnaire was pilot-tested with commissioners from three PCTs. 4 We provided the following guidance to PCTs on who should complete the questionnaire: We suggest that the PCT s commissioner with responsibility for sexual health is likely to be best placed to answer the majority of the questions. Prior to submission, we recommend that he or she should coordinate the response with any PCTs with whom there is joint commissioning of screening. The respondent should ensure that the survey response has been approved by the Chief Executive of the PCT, since the Chief Executive is the Accountable Offi cer for the PCT and therefore responsible for the submitted answers. The survey for the census was structured in the following sections: Section 1 Section 2 Section 3 Section 4 Section 5 Section 6 Section 7 NCSP commissioning overview NCSP expenditure Local coordination and Chlamydia Screening Offi ce Providers Notifi cation Marketing and communications PCT views of the NCSP
