(asked on 3rd March 2026) - View Source
Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, when digital prescriptions will be available in all NHS hospitals.
This question was answered on 17th March 2026
NHS England does not have a target date for digital prescription availability in all National Health Service hospitals. The NHS Digital Maturity Assessment 2025 showed that 93% of NHS hospital trusts have gone live with an electronic prescribing and medicines administration system. The 2026 Digital Maturity Assessment will provide the latest data later this year.
