Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask His Majesty's Government what plans they have to ensure patients are able to access information about local waiting times on the NHS app; and when they expect to implement these plans.
The Department is currently working with NHS England to develop the My Planned Care online platform to provide advice and support to patients awaiting surgery and to prepare for hospital consultations, treatment or surgery. This includes information on waiting times at their hospital to allow patients to make the appropriate choices for their care.
