NHS Logistics

Question
(2) if she will publish the report by KPMG on IT systems used by NHS Logistics and the IT systems capacity required to service the NHS supply chain.
Answer

The NHS Logistics Authority (NHSLA) undertakes an annual review of its information technology strategy, which covers issues such as system capacity and fitness for purpose. KPMG, NHSLA's internal auditor, has assisted NHS Logistics with these reviews. The reviews have concluded that the existing systems, with future planned enhancements, are capable of meeting the known medium term needs of the national health service and NHSLA.KPMG prepares reports for their client, NHSLA, on a confidential basis and, therefore, it has no plans to publish these reports.
