Anna has lived in Britain since she was 18 months old, but has been denied citizenship due to "insufficient evidence."

@PoliticsJOE_UK very similar to my mum, who also arrived at about 18 months old (70 years ago). Fortunately after much searching she did manage to find her naturalisation certificate, but things could have been much different.

@GaryMcAllister that's great to hear. Get in touch & we can give you more detail about what's coming. Clinical Referral Information API is already live & being used by trusts.

[Leon Finnerty @LeonFinnerty]

@GaryMcAllister @NHSDigital Ah ok. I've only recently taken over managing the team but I know those alphas were put on the Dev environment quite a while ago to gauge interest. We're now developing them to live services. My plan is to have enough APIs live to complete an end-end referral by end next year.

[Leon Finnerty @LeonFinnerty]

@GaryMcAllister @NHSDigital Next release is referrer API in Nov 2019 which is available to test against in the external dev env now. If you need more contact [email protected] and me or one of my team will speak to you

@GaryMcAllister @NHSDigital Hi Gary, our developer site is https://t.co/sSyu8Uj1Ui (not sure where the December 2017 date is on it, but the current status of APIs is on there.)

@NHSDigital e-Referrals Service are supporting this by developing externally facing APIs, allowing referrals to be managed in whatever system the care setting chooses to use. Our first API is live and allows direct access to clinical referral information in the Trust system #API
