I have been informed by officials in my Department that no funding has been allocated for advertising relating to Covid-19 since the beginning of the pandemic. My Department is actively engaged in delivering Covid-19 communications with the public and with stakeholders through various channels. This work is carried out in-house by the communications team and other teams within the Department. As part of its policy response to the crisis, my Department has supported a range of measures to provide for content which would normally be presented to live audiences, to be made available online.
