Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what the timetable is for roll out of the R;pple tool for mental health outcomes.
We have no plans to roll out the R;pple tool nationally.
NHS England is working with National Institute for Health and Care Excellence to develop a policy framework for digital health technologies to be assessed against, speeding up patient access to technologies that are proven to be safe and effective. The framework will be used to assess new and existing technologies, including those within mental health.
