Primary Health Care (12 May 2022)

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, with reference to the Answer of 25 April 2022 to Question 154467 on Primary Health Care, how much money has been allocated to (a) a national campaign to increase awareness of access routes to general practice services and (b) developing a campaign to promote the services of community pharmacy in 2022-23; and which companies were successful in those tenders.

Asked by:
Feryal Clark (Labour)

The proposed budgets for national campaigns to raise awareness of access routes to general practitioner services and to encourage use of community pharmacy services for minor ailments have not yet been approved, so at present no funding has been allocated.

A competitive procurement process is currently underway to appoint the external agencies to work on all National Health Service campaigns in England.
