Description:

The National Programme for Information Technology in the NHS (the Programme) is a ten year programme to use information technology (IT) to reform the way the NHS in England uses information, and hence to improve services and the quality of patient care. The core of the Programme will be the NHS Care Records Service, but other elements include x-rays accessible by computer, electronic transmission of prescriptions, and booking of first outpatient appointments. The Programme was launched in 2002, and is now run by an agency, NHS Connecting for Health. This report examines: the progress made in delivering the systems against the original plans and costs (part 1); steps taken by the Department of Health, the agency and the NHS to deliver the Programme (part 2); how the IT systems have been procured (part 3); how the NHS is preparing to use the systems (part 4). The NAO estimates the gross cost of the Programme will be £12.4 billion to 2013-14. Although the pilot NHS Care Records Service will not be in place until late 2006, almost two years late, and other milestones have been deferred, the NAO reports substantial progress with the Programme. Management systems are in place, contracts were placed quickly and achieved large reductions in prices from bidders, and contract terms include important safeguards to secure value for money. Deployments of operational systems have begun, and several additional tasks have been delivered that were outside the original brief. Three key areas are identified which present significant challenges to the successful implementation of the Programme: ensuring IT suppliers continue to deliver systems that meet the needs of the NHS, to agreed timescales without further slippage; ensuring NHS organizations play a full part in implementing the systems; winning the support of NHS staff and the public in making the best use of the systems to improve services. The NAO report makes a number of recommendations for future management of the Programme.
