Thanks Dorain1 for your kindness. Sadly my Health app says that Walking Steadiness Notifications are not available on my oldish iPhone SE. I will try Apple Support. It is like having a clock which never shows the right time, but always a time from somewhen in the past varying unpredictably from 2 minutes to many hours ago! Maybe there is a way I can trick the controlling algorithm.

Hi meadow21,

Keeping track of our daily activities is important, and you should be able see the updated step information on your iPhone's Health app.

Looking at Keep track of your health and wellness with iPhone shows the following:

Movement matters

Carry iPhone with you to count your steps, record how many flights of stairs you climb each day, and even monitor your walking steadiness. Open the Health app, then tap Summary to see your steps. Scroll down to set up Walking Steadiness Notifications. Tap Edit to add more activities to the Summary screen, such as Flights Climbed or Walking + Running Distance.

If you are seeing the steps, but they are not correct, you will want to reach out to Apple Support for further assistance with your Health app. They can be reached by going to Get Support.

Have a great day!

Apple Support really excelled. I spoke from UK to staff in Australia, ? and Florida. The last proved to be a real expert on the Health app and spent 45 minutes with me. He explained how the app works under the hood - you can't do what I was trying to do there - and that an additional free app would deal with my issue. It did (Pedometer++). Happy Apple customer.
