The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how many families are receiving support through the Healthy Start scheme in South Holland and the Deepings constituency.

Answered by Ashley Dalton

The NHS Business Services Authority (NHSBSA) operates the Healthy Start scheme on behalf of the Department. Monthly figures for the number of people on the digital Healthy Start scheme are published on the NHS Healthy Start website, which is available at the following link:

The NHSBSA does not hold data on the number of families receiving Healthy Start. The NHSBSA does not hold data on local constituencies. The South Holland and the Deepings constituency is included within the local authority area of South Holland. The number of people on the scheme in March 2025 for South Holland was 493.
