Nothing has happened in developing that app, which is a tragedy because nearly two years have already gone by. It does not require primary legislation, would be inexpensive and could be rolled out across the country in the same way as the palliative care app, which has supported so many people who have been in difficulty in a similar way, by either collapsing in the street or having a crisis in front of a stranger. That stranger becomes almost a friend in that moment by knowing who the person is and how to support them. That is something on which I hope the Minister will have more luck than I did in persuading officials that we can get on and start developing it. There are companies out there. I could give a list of those that could develop this app for the Government and the NHS, which could make an enormous difference to everybody with mental health issues.
