The Government has no plans to run such a national campaign at this time. The Department is working closely with NHS England and the Government Equalities Office in the implementation of the LGBT Action Plan, which was published in July 2018. This will include the recruitment of a National Adviser who will work to lead improvements to LGBT healthcare.
