The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what consideration was given to the NHS app's usability for residents in England who are registered with Scottish GPs.

The NHS App is only available to patients who are registered with a general practice (GP) in England. As a fully devolved healthcare system, patients of Scottish GPs can access the healthcare apps MyCare.scot and NHS 24 Online, commissioned by NHS Scotland.
