Rosie Cooper – 2016 Parliamentary Question to the Department of Health

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Rosie Cooper on 2016-01-26.

To ask the Secretary of State for Health, how the NHS Identity Team monitors and enforces (a) direct marketing mail from and (b) other activities of a company which has been ordered to stop using the NHS logo on its stationery.

George Freeman

Where new cases of misuse of the National Health Service logo are either uncovered by the NHS Identity team or brought to their attention by the public or NHS staff, the NHS Identity team contact the company concerned, setting out the corrective action needed, progressing it through to completion. Where the NHS Identity team has informed a company to stop using the NHS logo, they request a revised copy of any materials in question and review resources, such as websites, to ensure that the logo has been removed.
