Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask Her Majesty's Government how many of the medical device innovations sent from the HealthTec Connect portal in its first 12 months to (1) NHS, and (2) Government, agencies, have since been adopted by NHS Supply Chain.

In the first 12 months of HealthTech Connect’s operation, 180 technologies were submitted, of which 142 were shared with NHS Supply Chain. None were selected.

NHS Supply Chain do not determine which products are appropriate for adoption by the National Health Service but may respond where products are selected by NHS England and NHS Improvement for adoption via routes such as MedTech Funding and the Accelerated Access Collaborative.
