NHS: Digital Technology

Asked by Alison GriffithsConservativeDepartment for Science, Innovation and TechnologyTabled Answered 24 October 2024UIN 10382

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology, whether he has had discussions with the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care on steps to improve digital inclusion in the NHS.

Answered by Chris Bryant

Digital inclusion is a priority for me and for Government. It means ensuring everyone has the access, skills and confidence to participate in a modern digital society, whatever their circumstances. We are working to develop our approach on digital inclusion, including with other government departments to ensure it is joined-up. To support this, I am, and will continue, engaging with my counterparts in other departments on this important issue.
