'Does Gibraltar still have a Sexual Health Clinic?' Equality Rights Group (ERG) has asked. 'The service, encompassed within a broader remit and under the discreet name of the 'Well Person Clinic' was announced amid much fanfare by then Minister for Health Neil Costa almost three years ago. 

They add: 'People are increasingly coming to us asking 'what's going on?', Chairman Felix Alvarez added. 'According to complaints I have been receiving for some time now, the service is alleged to have been curtailed beyond recognition if not entirely withdrawn, with apparently some professionals even resigning as a result.

WHAT'S HAPPENED?

'If this information is correct, we ask: what's happened? And why has the Minister for Health not explained the situation to the public? And even if it's not, a clarification is the minimum competency to be expected in order to quell any ensuing anxieties. It may be there are plans neither we nor the public are aware of. But people do deserve that much.'
