In a statement on September 30, the mental health minister set out her ambition of making the NHS Wales app the “digital front door” for patients. Ms Murphy told Senedd members: “This is a useful and powerful platform with a huge potential to change the way we all use and interact with our health service. ‘Significant strides’Ms Murphy said future priorities for the NHS Wales app also include bilingual design, making all waiting lists visible and integrating with commercial platforms. Our ambition is to match the functionality of the English app and then to go further.”James Evans, the Tories’ shadow health secretary, criticised the Welsh Government’s “frustrating and, frankly, sometimes disappointing” handling of the NHS Wales app.
