Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how many people have entered into the NHS covid-19 app that they are suffering from covid-19 symptoms in (a) Wakefield constituency, (b) West Yorkshire and (c) England.
We currently publish data on the number of app downloads.
Work is underway to establish what additional information can be published about app usage bearing in mind that app users are anonymous. We are considering the possibility of providing data related to how many people have reported symptoms via the app.
We will not be able to provide app-related data by constituency as the app only asks users to provide the first half of their postcode.
