Do advertisements for co-located services need to comply with the Healthcare Services (Advertisement) Regulations 2021?

Question

Accepted Answer

Where an advertisement covers both the licensable healthcare service and co-located non-licensable service, the licensee is responsible in ensuring compliance with the Healthcare Services (Advertisement) Regulations 2021 for the entire advertisement.

If the advertisement only pertains to the co-located non-licensable service, it is not subject to these Regulations. However, the advertisement must state clearly that it is a non-licensable service co-located in a licensed premise.
