The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps he is taking to raise awareness of the symptoms of pneumonia.

Answered by Ashley Dalton

NHS England currently has no campaigns designed to raise awareness of the symptoms of pneumonia. The main ‘awareness’ engine of the National Health Service is the NHS website, which holds clear information on pneumonia symptoms, with further information available at the following link:

The NHS is focusing on protecting those at most risk of pneumonia, including via the provision of pneumococcal vaccines, with further information available at the following link:
