Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health, when he expects that a paperless NHS will be achieved.
The National Information Board framework Personalised Health and Care 2020 published in November 2014 outlined by 2020 all care records will be digital real-time and interoperable. Progress is being made and the recent announcement of significant investment in digital technology will help support the National Health Service to achieve this commitment.
