  3. Delivering IT in the NHS – • A Summary of the national programme for IT • 17 and 18 April 2002 brought three key developments: • increased investment in the NHS from the 2002 Budget . . . . . . • publication of Delivering the NHS Plan - sets out how the new model for the NHS and extra investment will bring improved services to patients • the final Wanless report on securing the future health service.

  4. “Their Response” There are no new targets. We do not need to have a new information and IT strategy - the principles of Information for Health remain sound. But we do need to change the way in which it is implemented to support Delivering the NHS Plan. We do have a new mandate to ensure that IT will support the reform of the NHS. We are therefore preparing to support the programme of health and IT spending by refocusing the programme of information and IT priorities.

  5. “Our Response” Welcome no new targets & a more centralised approach in order to stop the current chaotic situation. Even more important that there is focussed clinical involvement Much more concerted effort to engage the professions in the development Need total engagement of the user community in establishing a common understanding of what is supposed to happen.
