Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health, how many people in his Department with responsibility for social media are employed on an (a) full and (b) part-time basis.

The Department does not have any members of staff who have social media as their sole responsibility. There is a wide range of people in the department who have some responsibility for social media, including the monitoring of social media activity, as well as posting content on official Departmental channels. Because this responsibility is spread so widely, it means we are not able to give a specific number of full-time or part-time staff who have responsibility for social media.
