Recommendation (the committee's words)
The Government must improve NHS England’s processes for approving and publishing third-party health content. There is a growing number of expert healthcare professionals putting out accurate, engaging and helpful information on social media that merits wider publication and promotion via official channels. The Government should expand the channels via which the NHS communicates, including TikTok and other platforms popular with girls and younger women. (Recommendation, Paragraph 63)
