NHSX

Answer

NHSX offices are located in London and Leeds, in buildings shared with NHS England and NHS Improvement and the Department. NHSX is not headquartered in London - it works across both sites.

NHSX is a joint unit, and staff are employees of either NHS England and NHS Improvement or the Department. Vacancies are usually advertised for both Leeds and London, although some posts have been targeted at Leeds. The information requested on the number of permanent NHSX staff in London by pay band is shown in the following tables.

NHSX is supporting digital transformation of the National Health Service and social care throughout England and takes a national and international view of the best technology to do this. NHSX sets the standards for digitisation, and provides front-line support, to allow local health and social care providers to secure the appropriate digital solutions, which means we have truly national scope.

In accordance with the Government’s levelling-up agenda, we are aiming to reduce our estates space in London with the Leeds office becoming the bigger site.
