Develop kitemarking system for reliable internet health information guidance for public

Recommendation

The public should receive guidance on those sources of information about health and healthcare on the Internet which are reliable and of good quality: a kitemarking system should be developed.

Published Evidence Summary
The following publicly available evidence relates to this recommendation:
While general government documents relating to the Bristol Heart Inquiry's response and implementation are indicated to exist (gov.uk search results), no specific evidence of a 'kitemarking system' for reliable health information on the internet, as recommended, has been identified in the provided public sources. Given the inquiry's age (2001), the absence of specific evidence suggests a lack of publicly documented progress on this particular recommendation.
