Teenage Pregnancy Strategy
Launched in 1999 Steady progress has been made to the point
where we have the lowest U18 conception rate for 20 years
However, UK rates are still much higher than comparable EU countries
The initial aim: to halve the U18 conception rate by 2010 and increase the number of young mothers in EET
The job is still not done!
Reducing Teenage Pregnancy Really Matters
At age 30, 22% of teenage mothers are living in poverty
Less likely to be employed or living with a partner
20% more likely to have no qualifications at age 30- NEET
3x the rate of post- natal depression and a higher risk of poor mental health
Children of teenage parents - more likely to experience poverty, inadequate housing, bad nutrition and teenage pregnancy themselves
The Economic Argument
The cost of Teenage Pregnancy to the NHS alone is estimated to be £63m a year
Benefit payments to a teenage mother can total £25000 in the three years following birth
Every £ spent on the strategy saves approximately £4 to the public purse
The TPS Implementation Grant
£99000 – Area Based Grant
No identified funding to sustain the TPS beyond March 2011
£74550 posts Task and Finish
Group
The Current Picture Locally
Recent annual figures showed that since the baseline figure in 1998 the Teenage Pregnancy rate in Bournemouth has fallen by 25.3 per 1000- a greater reduction than the national figures of 13.3 per 1000
