The UK government recently announced a £29 billion funding increase for the NHS, with a significant focus on technology and digital transformation. Rachel Reeves highlighted plans to invest £10 billion by 2028-29 to modernize the NHS and achieve a 2% annual productivity growth, which could save £17 billion over three years. This investment aims to improve patient care through advancements such as a unified patient record and the NHS app, allowing patients to manage their healthcare more effectively. Tech experts view this move as essential for transitioning from outdated systems to a more efficient digital infrastructure.
"There's no strong economy without a strong NHS," Reeves stated in the House of Commons, emphasizing the importance of investing in NHS technology for health and productivity.
"You can't build a digital NHS on analogue infrastructure. The government knows this ... only be able to drive long-term efficiency in the NHS through investments in technology to modernize healthcare," said Flann Horgan.
