This helps to ensure that only official European Health Insurance Card application websites appear at the top of Internet search results.</p><p>The Government has also set up a webpage to enable members of the public to report misleading websites and lodge a complaint with Google and other search engine providers. Such customer insight forms an important aspect of representations made by Government authorities to the ASA and NTS in the continued effort to tackle misleading websites.</p> answering member printed Baroness Manzoor question first answered 29/01/2019 17:27:03 answering member 4289 label Biography information for Baroness Manzoor
