The information requested is not available for Slough constituency. The total number of downloads in England between 1 January 2019 and 31 May 2021 is 8,971,826.

As of 31 May 2021, the total number of verified NHS App users in England was 4,483,693.

We are working very closely with clinical commissioning groups to better understand how the NHS App fits into their local digital strategy. We are also working on a national NHS App user-facing campaign.
