Andrew Gwynne – 2015 Parliamentary Question to the Department of Health
The below Parliamentary question was asked by Andrew Gwynne on 2015-12-14.
To ask the Secretary of State for Health, how much (a) his Department, (b) Public Health England, (c) NHS England and (d) each non-departmental public body spent on downloading apps for smartphones and similar devices in each of the last five years.
Jane Ellison
Information about the cost of downloading apps for smartphones and similar devices in the Department and its arm’s length bodies for each of the last five years is in the tables below.
The National Institute for Care and Excellence (NICE) is unable to provide a response to this question as it would incur disproportional cost to establish whether this information is held. We don’t have a separate expense code that would enable an easy search of this type of expenditure.
Health Education England do not collect this data. Applications are usually purchased by the individual and claimed back through expenses.
