Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, (a) how many and (b) what percentage of existing beneficiaries of the Healthy Start scheme did not complete an application for a prepaid card and are no longer be able to receive Healthy Start; and if he will make a statement.

As of 16 March 2022, the NHS Business Service Authority estimates there were 72,597 households remaining on the paper voucher scheme yet to successfully transition to the digital scheme.

This is an estimate based on the number of households on the paper voucher scheme on 17 February 2022 and the successful applications to the digital scheme since this date, therefore the information requested as a percentage is not available.
