NHS: Software
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, if he will he hold discussions with his counterparts in Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales on making the Access NHS App Services available across the UK.
Answered by Department of Health and Social Care
The NHS App is a service developed and managed by NHS England for use within the National Health Service in England. Health is a devolved matter, and the devolved administrations of Northern Ireland, Scotland, and Wales are responsible for decisions relating to the delivery of healthcare services, including digital health services and platforms, in their respective nations.
While officials may occasionally engage with counterparts in the devolved administrations on digital health issues where appropriate, there are no formal discussions taking place on making NHS App services available across the United Kingdom.
