Responsibility for the implementation and delivery of the programme lies with individual Primary Care Trusts (PCTs). The NCSP is delivered within geographically distinct programme areas, each consisting of individual or a consortia of individual PCTs. All programme areas have a named programme lead; a chlamydia screening co-ordinator based within a designated chlamydia screening office (CSO) and a multidisciplinary local chlamydia screening steering group (LCSSG). The CSO oversees all aspects of screening activity in their area.

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.
