To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what assessment he has made of the compatibility of IT systems used by primary care providers with the NHS App and systems used in secondary care; and what steps his Department is taking to improve interoperability between these systems.

The NHS App is able to integrate with all general practice core clinical systems, most online consultation solutions, and the majority of patient messaging platforms. It is also integrated with all but two acute trusts, all specialist trusts, and several mental health and community trust solutions for appointment management. As part of delivering the 10-Year Health Plan, NHS England is reviewing the standards and capabilities required across primary and secondary care digital solutions to support more joined-up care through the NHS App as a single point of access.
NHS England has launched a Digital Pathways Registry, which will raise the baseline standards expected of digital solutions in primary care. This includes strengthened requirements for interoperability, common data standards, and integration with national services such as the NHS App, supporting a more consistent and connected digital experience for patients and professionals.

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what assessment her Department has made of the potential merits of using pre appointment patient questionnaires via the NHS App for people with multiple sclerosis and other progressive neurological conditions, to better understand patient need and ensure they are...
The Government is committed to improving access to high‑quality care and treatment for people with multiple sclerosis (MS) and other progressive neurological conditions.
Through NHS England’s Neurology Transformation Programme, a new model of integrated care has also been developed to support integrated care boards (ICBs) to deliver the right service, at the right time for all neurology patients. This focuses on providing access equitably across the country, with care as close to home as possible, and early intervention to prevent illness and deterioration in patients with long-term neurological conditions, including MS. A toolkit was developed to support ICBs to understand and implement this new model, which includes components on delivering acute neurology services, improving health equity in neurology, and improving community neurology services.
NHS England has published an updated service specification for specialised neurology services, including MS, which sets out clear expectations for proactive, coordinated care to reduce the risk of avoidable complications and emphasises early identification of clinical risks, personalised care planning, and timely access to multidisciplinary support, including specialist nurses, therapists, and community services.
In addition, the GIRFT Programme for Neurology, the RightCare Progressive Neurological Conditions Toolkit, and the model of integrated neurology care developed through the Neurology Transformation Programme support greater consistency, coordination, and sharing of best practice across local systems and geographical areas. NHS England has developed national neurology dashboards, including an MS data dashboard and an interactive adult neurology dashboard, to support systems in monitoring service delivery, benchmarking performance, and understanding the quality of local neurology services.
The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) has issued guidance on the use of disease‑modifying therapies for MS, supporting clinicians to offer clinically- and cost‑effective treatments based on the best available evidence. ICBs are expected to have regard to NICE guidance to ensure patients can access high‑quality care and treatment. NHS England also supports the implementation of treatment algorithms to promote consistent prescribing and reduce unwarranted variation in access to high‑efficacy therapies.
The 10-Year Health Plan will also support improved care and outcomes for people with MS by focusing on earlier diagnosis, more timely access to specialist treatment, and more coordinated, community‑based care. It will prioritise reducing unwarranted variation in services and strengthening multidisciplinary support, helping people with MS to manage their condition more effectively and maintain their quality of life.
Finally, a UK-wide neuro forum has been convened, bringing together the governments, health services, and Neurological Alliances of all four UK nations. The forum will share learnings across the UK, and discuss important neurology services transformation and workforce challenges, as well as best practice examples and potential solutions.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, with reference to his Department’s press release entitled Government launches consultation on making public services quicker, easier and more secure to access with digital ID, published on 10 March 2026, whether Government by app will store all data together for digital IDs.
To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, with reference to his Department’s press release entitled Government launches consultation on making public services quicker, easier and more secure to access with digital ID, published on 10 March 2026, whether Government by app will store all data together for digital IDs.
The Government is committed to the principle of data minimisation, ensuring the new digital ID system only processes the information necessary to provide a specific service.
There will be no new single central database storing all government data on a person in one place.
We are consulting on how we can build on existing infrastructure to provide a modern “Government by App” experience that gives users more control over their data than they have now and reduces reliance on manual paperwork.
