answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/03/2024 answer text <p>There are no plans for specific discussions on this point. The NHS Business Services Authority operates the Healthy Start scheme on behalf of the Department. The Healthy Start scheme has recently transitioned from paper vouchers to a prepaid card. All applicants to the Healthy Start scheme, where they meet the eligibility criteria set out in the Healthy Start legislation, must accept the terms and conditions of the prepaid card at the point of application. As the prepaid card is a financial product and cannot be issued without the applicant accepting these terms, the NHS Business Services Authority is not able to automatically provide eligible families with a prepaid card.</p> answering member constituency South Northamptonshire answering member printed Andrea Leadsom question first answered 25/03/2024 15:13:45 answering member 4117 label Biography information for Andrea Leadsom
