Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what funding his Department has allocated to (a) local, (b) regional and (c) national NHS IT services.

The Spending Review in 2021 provided a national settlement for IT of £1.7 billion. We have allocated £0.5 billon for the maintenance of live services, with the balance supporting digital transformation programmes within health and social care. Funding will be released throughout the year in accordance with business case approvals. The information requested on local and regional allocations is not held centrally, as each integrated care system will determine the level of allocation to support digital and technology locally.
