Answer

In March 2020 we worked with Vodafone, EE, O2 and Three to secure free online access to the following websites:

- NHS.UK;

- 111.nhs.uk;

- wales.nhs.uk;

- nhsinform.scot;

- nidirect.gov.uk; and

We also agreed time-limited data provisions for Attend Anywhere, our main provider of video consultations. The provisions we made for access to the above websites and Attend Anywhere were temporary and concluded by the end of 2020.
