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, at the following link:

The NHSBSA does not hold data on the number of families receiving Healthy Start and does not currently hold the data on the number of people eligible for Healthy Start. The following table shows the number of people on the digital scheme as of 23 May 2025 in Fylde:
