GPs to text patients urging them to change unhealthy habits

GPs to text patients urging them to change unhealthy habits Patients could be sent text messages urging them to change unhealthy habits under radical proposals from the Health Secretary.

Patients would then be sent targeted public health advice via an app, email or text message which is based on their specific risk. The Daily Mail
