NHS Trusts: Software
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps he is taking to (a) support NHS trusts with software needs and (b) unify software across NHS trusts.
- Answer
-
NHS England supports National Health Service trusts with software needs in many ways, including through documentation, guides, support, a developer community, application programming interfaces, and mandatory standards.
NHS England is unifying software across NHS trusts through application of interoperability and accessibility standards and national services such as NHS Notify.
