On the costs of developing the App, I refer the Hon Member to the answer provided on 11 December 2023 in response to Question 5345.

On the benefits resulting from use of the App, I refer the Hon Member to the GOV.UK website press release from April 2025, which sets out a range of estimated cost savings and other efficiencies across different healthcare settings, and which is available at the following link:
