Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether his Department issues guidance to GP surgeries on the frequency with which patient noticeboards are (a) checked for out of date information and (b) updated.

The Department does not issue guidance to general practice (GP) surgeries on the frequency with which patient noticeboards are checked for out-of-date information and updated. As independent contractors, it is up to each individual GP surgery to check for out-of-date information and update patient noticeboards.
