About the NCSP's Press Office
The National Chlamydia Screening Programme (NCSP) is a control and prevention programme targeted at sexually active young people under 25 years old. Through the early detection and treatment of asymptomatic infection the programme aims to reduce onward transmission to sexual partners and prevent the consequences of untreated infection.
The Health Protection Agency (HPA) is responsible for the national coordination of the Programme and has facilitated and supported its implementation together with monitoring and evaluation since November 2005.
The HPA is an independent organisation dedicated to protecting the health of the nation. The HPA combine public health and scientific expertise, research and emergency planning in one Agency. The Agency is responsible for the surveillance of many infectious diseases including chlamydia.

The National Chlamydia Screening Programme (NCSP) is a control and prevention programme targeted at the highest risk group for chlamydia infection in England, young people under 25 who are sexually active.
Chlamydia is often asymptomatic so a large proportion of cases remain undiagnosed, but infection can be diagnosed easily (young people can do the test themselves), and treated effectively.
