Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps he will take to communicate effectively with the public on how best to make use of NHS services.
NHS England and NHS Improvement and other health bodies have multiple campaigns to inform the public about NHS services and how to access them. This includes the ‘Help us help you’ campaign which raises awareness of the NHS 111 service, ensuring that people access services for cancer, stroke and heart attacks to help increase earlier diagnosis of critical conditions. This campaign is planned to continue in 2022/23.
