The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, pursuant to the Answer of 17 April 2025 to Question 43997 on NHS England: ICT, if he will publish a (a) timeline and (b) outline of the plans he intends to put in place to ensure a smooth integration of IT systems.

Answered by Karin Smyth

Ministers and senior Department officials are working closely with the new NHS England executive team on the creation of a new centre and to ensure delivery is prioritised and protected during this period of change. The Government is committed to transparency to Parliament, staff and the public.

When appropriate, we will update Parliament on progress with the plans for the organisational changes. We will put plans in place to ensure, where appropriate, a smooth integration of internal IT systems; and the continued operation of those providing live services to the National Health Service.
