Question to the Department for Science, Innovation & Technology:

To ask the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology, whether he has had discussions with the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care on steps to improve digital inclusion in the NHS.

Digital inclusion is a priority for me and for Government. It means ensuring everyone has the access, skills and confidence to participate in a modern digital society, whatever their circumstances. We are working to develop our approach on digital inclusion, including with other government departments to ensure it is joined-up. To support this, I am, and will continue, engaging with my counterparts in other departments on this important issue.
