<p>The Department of Health and Social Care does not receive personal data from the
Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) on those eligible for the Healthy Start scheme.
The NHS Business Services Authority (NHS BSA) runs the scheme on behalf of the Department
of Health and Social Care. The Department is continuing to work closely with the NHS
BSA and the DWP, in order for the NHS BSA to receive the personal data held by the
DWP for those potentially eligible citizens, as soon as possible. The NHS BSA will
use this data to reach out to those eligible, who are not currently in receipt of
Healthy Start, to encourage them to apply for the Healthy Start scheme.</p>
