Evaluation of government commitments made on the digitisation of the NHS

This report from an independent panel of experts has found the government is making inadequate progress on vital commitments to digitise the NHS. Government commitments evaluated by the panel include the delivery of integrated health and care records, the roll-out of the NHS app and ensuring a workforce had the necessary digital skills. Despite some encouraging progress, the panel found that key government commitments on workforce and the use of patient information were either not met or were not on track to be met. It found that overall progress towards improving the digital capabilities of the NHS was too slow, and often lacked support and funding.ReportPress release
