Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, if he will develop a system to enable proxy access for patients via the NHS App between the EMIS and TPP systems used by GP surgeries.
The NHS App currently allows a version of proxy access from general practitioner clinical systems such as EMIS and TPP, known as ‘linked profiles’. However, the capability is not currently available between suppliers. We are working with the Information Commissioner’s Office to understand how people can access health and care services on behalf of those they care for.
