(asked on 19th October 2018) - View Source
Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what the budget is for NHS Digital for each year until 2021-22.
NHS Digital’s budget for the next three years is shown in the following table:
| 2018/19 £ million | 2019/20 £ million | 2020/21 £ million |
Revenue | 354 | 349 | 284 |
Capital | 107 | 92 | 56 |
These budgets have been approved by the Digital Delivery Board as part of the digital transformation portfolio of national programmes and live services that support our vision for using the best digital technology to support the health and social care system. Figures may change in-year or for future years to reflect delivery priorities across the portfolio, subject to agreement by the Digital Delivery Board.
Funding for 2021/22 will be confirmed through the NHS Long Term Plan and the next Spending Review.
The figures in the table do not include those programmes in the wider digital transformation portfolio that are not funded from NHS Digital’s budget. These include the £412 million for sustainability and transformation partnerships to improve provider digitisation and the £200 million announced for the next round of global digital exemplars. These will help create the flexibility for local organisations to buy the technology and commodity services they need that meet open national standards of interoperability, privacy and security in line with our vision for digital, data and technology in health and care.
