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 increasing the number of NHS patients who can access their medical data on the Apple Health app.

Apple launched the ability to see medical records on their Health app in October 2020 in the United Kingdom through an encrypted connection, in collaboration with Oxford University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust and Milton Keynes University Hospital NHS Foundation Trust. We are currently working with Apple as they continue to roll out integration with patients’ medical data. The integration rollout is currently in operation across several trusts in England for secondary care and is rolled out on a trust to trust basis.
