Millions more to get test results via NHS app, government says
The NHS app will become the default method of communication for millions more patients in England and save the health service £200m over the next three years, the government has said. More test results, screening invitations and appointment reminders will be sent directly to smartphones as part of a £50m investment in the app, in a move away from traditional communication methods such as letters. It is estimated that at least 50 million letters are sent to patients each year. The Department of Health and Social Care said that people who cannot access app messaging - including elderly patients - will receive text messages and then a letter as a last resort, and NHS phone lines would be freed up. The department says 270 million messages will be sent through the NHS app this financial year - an increase of 70 million on the previous year. Push notifications will provide appointment reminders to patients to try to reduce the risk of no attendance - with around eight million missed appointments in elective care missed in 2023/24. Work is also under way to enable users of the app to add appointments to their phone calendars and request help from their local GP surgeries. Figures show that more than 11 million people in the UK log into the NHS app every month, while almost 20 million are opted in to receive healthcare messages from the app. It is hoped the changes will give patients better access to manage their healthcare journey and make informed decisions about their care. NHS app services, which were launched in December 2018, are now used in 87% of hospitals across England. Health Secretary Wes Streeting said further investment in the app would bring the NHS into the digital age so that being a patient was as "convenient as online banking or ordering a takeaway". He added that moving away from paper communication could free up funding for front line services. Rachel Power, chief executive of the Patient's Association, said the upgrade was a "significant step in modernising how patients receive information". The British Medical Association (BMA) has previously warned that a reliance on apps to the NHS to communicate with patients risked alienating patients who don't have access to digital technology. It followed the government's announcement in January that it planned to allow more patients in England to book treatments and appointments through the app. Last month, NHS England announced millions of patients would be able to get "Amazon-style" tracking updates on their prescriptions through the app, to check if their medicines are ready to collect or have been despatched for delivery.

8 takeaways from Hawaiʻi's top ranking for school lunches
HONOLULU (KHON2) — The 2025 State of School Lunch Report shows Hawaiʻi is one of the best states in the country for healthy school lunches. Hawaiʻi earned a score of 76 out of 100 and ranked second, just behind Vermont. This ranking reflects the quality of meals and nutrition programs offered in Hawaiʻi schools when compared to other states across the country. Higher bills ahead: Honolulu City Council OKs sewer fee hike in $5.1B budget The report evaluated states based on several important factors. These include: Farm to school programs. Fresh fruit and vegetable availability. Serving local foods. School gardens. Reduction of sugary drink consumption. Hawaiʻi performed very well across most of these categories. Here's what we know from the report: Hawaiʻi leads the nation with 99.6% of schools participating in farm to school programs, according to the report. These programs connect students to fresh, locally sourced foods. Students learn about nutrition and get to eat meals made from ingredients grown nearby. The report indicated that this high level of participation shows a strong commitment to healthy eating in Hawaiʻi schools. More than 99% of Hawaiʻi schools serve local foods to their students, the report said. Using local fruits, vegetables and other ingredients supports sustainable farming and ensures students receive fresher, more nutritious 65% of Hawaiʻi school food authorities participate in the Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program, the report found. This initiative offers free fruits and vegetables to students during the school day. Access to these fresh foods helps children build healthy eating habits and reduces risks of diet-related illnesses. The report measures how many children eat vegetables daily and how many avoid sugary drinks. Eating vegetables regularly supports balanced diets and healthy growth. Limiting sugary drinks helps prevent childhood obesity and dental problems. On the flip side of these achievements, the report found that Hawaiʻi's participation in school gardens is not the highest nationally. It has been found that the use of edible gardens in schools helps students learn about where food comes from. Gardens give children hands-on experience growing plants and encourage healthier food choices. Download the free KHON2 app for iOS or Android to stay informed on the latest news Vermont ranked first with a score of 82. Vermont stands out for its school gardens, with 39% of schools having edible gardens. Washington, D.C. ranked third with a focus on fresh fruits and vegetables and local food offerings. These areas, along with Hawaiʻi, set examples for improving school lunch nutrition. Some states scored much lower. Oklahoma, Mississippi and South Dakota ranked at the bottom, with less participation in farm to school programs and fewer schools serving fresh fruits and vegetables. The report found that these things demonstrate there is work to do nationwide to improve the health of school meals. 'Access to nutritious school lunches and nutrition education is crucial for the health and academic success of our nation's children,' said Stephanie Morris, senior vice president of ProCare Therapy.
