Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what payments have been received by the NHS in return for the advertising of Optical Express services on the NHS Choices website.
NHS Choices does not advertise services on their website. Optical Express is included within the service directory published on NHS Choices on the basis that it is a provider of NHS services.
NHS Choices has neither sought nor received any payment from Optical Express in return for this inclusion.
