Newcastle's sexual health clinic is returning to NHS management after a recent period of challenges. Sunderland and South Tyneside NHS Foundation Trust has secured a £6.7 million contract to operate the clinic, currently located on Ravensworth Terrace in Summerhill. The clinic relocated from the city centre last year.

Newcastle City Council, under Labour leadership, announced the contract award, emphasizing the trust's established reputation for delivering quality healthcare services throughout the region. The move signifies a renewed commitment to accessible sexual health support for residents.

Details regarding the clinic’s services and operating hours following the transition are expected to be released shortly by the Sunderland and South Tyneside NHS Foundation Trust. The previous management structure faced difficulties, leading to the need for a new operator to ensure continuity of care. The transition aims to provide a stable and reliable resource for sexual health needs within Newcastle.
