Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether his Department holds the data needed to contact families who are eligible for Healthy Start payments but are not accessing that scheme.
The NHS Business Services Authority (NHSBSA) operates the Healthy Start scheme on behalf of the Department of Health and Social Care. NHSBSA is currently working with the Department for Work and Pensions to obtain contact data for those eligible for but not accessing the Healthy Start scheme.
