Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health, how much to date the NHS has paid BT for licensing, deployment and support of acute IT systems in London.
Information regarding payments made by National Health Service trusts to BT is not held centrally by the Department.
The Department, to the end of financial year 2015-16, has paid BT £1.1 billion for services it delivered to acute and community and mental health trusts in London under the BT Local Service Provider contract. This contract has now closed.
