Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what recent assessment he has made of the readiness of NHS England's new in-house IT system that will replace the National Immunisation Management Service.
The National Health Service is supporting this year’s autumn/winter vaccination campaign using a combination of existing technology/services and newly developed products to replace the functionality previously provided by the National Immunisation Management Service. The new data system has continuity with the previous system and provides the same data management options previously used. An assessment of the readiness of the new systems was carried out as part of vaccination launch preparations.
