NHS 10-Year Plan

Debate between Baroness Neville-Rolfe and Lord Lansley

Wednesday 9th July 2025 Lords Chamber

[Lord Lansley (Con)]

My Lords—

[Baroness Neville-Rolfe (Con)]

My Lords, if so many people want to speak, we should have a full debate on this plan, which is generally welcome. On digital, the plan summarises various digital improvements. There is also a red book for a child’s health, and feedback from Fitbits and data, which is all very good. However, there is no timescale for any of this and no plan to make patient records from GPs or hospitals available and viewable on the NHS app by the patient, as is the case in other countries. When will the Government give patients open access, as opposed to control by NHS professionals?
