Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps his Department is taking to reduce the time taken to register online for Healthy Start cards following that scheme's move from paper vouchers to digital cards.
The Healthy Start scheme has been digitised to ensure it is easier for families to apply for, receive and use the benefits. Applicants can now complete the online application form and receive a decision in less than five minutes.
