The \u2018For a Greener NHS\u2019 campaign builds on the plans set out in the NHS Long Term Plan and will help address the causes of air pollution and climate change, which are linked to thousands of deaths each year. As part of this work the National Health Service is asked to take action in 2020, with the consultation on the new Standard Contract and the NHS Operational Planning Guidance setting out requirements to cut business mileage, purchase renewable energy, replace lighting with low carbon LED alternatives, reduce carbon across NHS estate and switch to lower carbon inhalers and anaesthetics.<\/p>

In addition to this, an NHS Net Zero Plan has been established to chart a practical route map to enable the NHS to get to \u2018net zero\u2019. This panel, chaired by Dr Nick Watts, Executive Director of the Lancet Countdown, will set out recommendations to NHS England in the summer, in advance of the COP26 International meeting in Glasgow.<\/p>

Data protection legislation in the UK requires organisations which collect and use personal data to do so lawfully and transparently. Organisations which fail to comply may be investigated by the Information Commissioner\u2019s Office (ICO), the independent regulator.<\/p>

<\/p>

The ICO is working with the advertising industry to improve compliance with the legislation, including in relation to real time bidding. More information on the actions they have taken can be viewed on the ICO\u2019s website at: https://ico.org.uk/about-the-ico/news-and-events/news-and-blogs/2020/01/blog-adtech-the-reform-of-real-time-bidding-has-started/<\/a>. They have also recently launched a public consultation on a draft direct marketing code of practice, governing the processing of personal data for direct marketing purposes.<\/p>

<\/p>

Last year the government announced its intention to review how online advertising is regulated in the UK, looking at how well the current regime is equipped to tackle the challenges posed by developments in online advertising. This work will complement and supplement other reviews underway in this area, including work by the ICO.<\/p>
