Question

To ask the Scottish Government whether it will provide a list of the functions that the MyCare.scot app will perform compared with a list of those of the NHS app used in England.


Answer

The initial launch of MyCare.scot in Lanarkshire will allow people to securely access and manage some hospital appointments online, receive communications, find local services and update personal information.

Information on which functionalities will be available can be found in our high-level Rollout Summary at: https://www.gov.scot/binaries/content/documents/govscot/publications/strategy-plan/2025/09/health-social-care-app-mycare-scot-national-rollout-high-level-summary/documents/health-social-care-app-mycare-scot/health-social-care-app-mycare-scot/govscot%3Adocument/health-social-care-app-mycare-scot.pdf.

The member may also find it useful to refer to NHS England’s published information on the NHS App to understand its functionality. This can be found on their website at: https://www.nhs.uk/nhs-app/about-the-nhs-app/
