Corrections and clarifications

• An article about the closure of sexual health clinics in London incorrectly included herpes as a disease that would be included in a new self-testing scheme (Doctors fear rise in STIs as clinics in capital shut, 16 October, page 5).

• Early editions of Monday’s paper had an article with the headline “Activists back NHS survey on patients’ gender” (16 October, page 9). As the article itself and later editions made clear, NHS England has issued a new standard requiring staff to record sexual orientation, not gender.

• A slip in listings provided by the Press Association meant that Saturday’s Guide had the wrong date for a modern jazz gig at Crookes Social Club in Sheffield. The Dave O’Higgins Quartet will be appearing on the date listed, Friday 20 October. However, the Stan Tracey Legacy Octet will be performing the following Friday, 27 October (14 October, page 13, the Guide, Central & North listings).
