Julian Hunt, health services leader at PwC, said:
“After years of the NHS technology budget being eroded to fund other critical services, it is a welcome step by the Chancellor in making significant financial commitments to accelerate digital advancements in the NHS to benefit both staff and patients from next year.
“The NHS has a track record of delivering fantastic innovation but too often this has not been fully adopted to ensure its impact. To ensure today’s technology investments have the maximum impact and productivity gains, the right culture, leadership and behavioural change will be key to extract the benefits that new technologies create.
“Delivery of the workforce plan will be key to building trust and confidence. This should provide NHS staff across the country with the right digital and data literacy to make the most of the investments made.”
