Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, with reference to Lord Markham's keynote speech at London Tech Week 2023 on 12 June 2023, what her Department's planned timetable is for publishing the policy framework clarifying the market pathway for digital health technologies.

NHS England is working with the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence to develop a policy framework for Digital Health Technologies. The framework will clarify the market pathway for industry and ensure that well-evidenced technologies reach the hands of patients. The policy is planned for publication in 2024.
