Mr. Laurence Robertson: To ask the Secretary of State for Health (1) if he will make a statement on the introduction of the National Programme for IT computer system into the NHS; [202951] (2) what the estimated cost is of introducing the National Programme for IT into the NHS; and if he will make a statement; [202952] (3) what choice users of the National Programme for IT in the NHS will have of software suppliers; and if he will make a statement; [202953] (4) what use will be made of existing computer systems when the National Programme for IT system is introduced into the NHS; and if he will make a statement. [202954] Mr. Hutton: The national programme for information technology (NPfIT) will over the next nine years, revolutionise the way health information is accessed and shared in the national health service. The NPfIT focuses on the developments that will make a significant difference to improving the patient experience and the delivery of treatment, care and services. It will connect more than 30,000 general practitioners and 270 acute, community and mental health NHS trusts in a single, secure national system, providing doctors and nurses with the right information in the right place at the right time, and allow patients much greater choice in how and where they receive their care. NPfTT is a key component of delivering the vision of a truly modern and patient-centred NHS. NPfIT has four key deliverables: electronic appointment booking, an electronic care records service, electronic transfer of prescriptions and an underpinning IT infrastructure with sufficient connectivity and broadband capacity to support the critical national applications and local systems. Under the NPfIT, an incremental approach is being adopted to building up any new applications or systems. This approach is intended to ensure that implementation is achievable and minimises disruption to the day-to-day business of the NHS. As a consequence the NPfTPs strategy underlines the importance of making best use of the existing asset base. NHS users, including general practitioners, will not be expected to change clinical systems while their current systems are compliant with the NHS care record service and continue to serve them well. We have repeatedly made it clear, in particular when speaking with general practitioners, and in written guidance, that practices may continue to use existing systems subject to their remaining compliant, and being able to deliver the required functionality, until the national programme's local service provider (LSP) is able to implement a viable alternative system. LSPs are required to provide a choice of GP system as part of their service offering. The NPfIT was planned and is being delivered, within expenditure assumptions set in line with the recommendations of the 2002 Wanless Report `Securing our Future Health'. Wanless anticipated an increase in the level of spending on NHS information and communications technology, rising to around 4 per cent. of the total NHS budget on NHS IT in general by 2008. The Government is committed to seeing this target, which extends beyond just the NPfTT national clinical systems, achieved. The costs of the procurement contracts let for the programme's four core components amount to £6.2 billion over 10 years. This figure relate to contractual commitments and covers ongoing funding of core deliverables and the connection of existing systems to national applications from central budgets. It does not include costs of training NHS staff or local change management costs, which will be borne by individual NHS organisations. Future funding to the NHS, determined by the next and future expenditure settlements, is expected to support trusts in meeting and sustaining the 4 per cent. target.

Mr. Pickthall: To ask the Secretary of State for Health if he will make a statement on the future of EMIS. [192806] Mr. Hutton: [holding answer 21 October 2004]: Egton Medical Information Systems (EMIS) are suppliers of significant numbers of medical information systems to primary care practitioners. Currently around 55 per cent. of general practitioner practices use the EMIS suite of software products on annually renewed contracts. The position in relation to the national programme for information technology (NPfIT) in England is that EMIS are working co-operatively with NPfIT to make their systems compliant for the programme's electronic booking service. EMIS also co-operated with the recent upgrade to GP IT systems to support the quality and outcomes framework introduced under the new general medical services contract. In terms of commercial arrangements, EMIS have told NPfIT that they have not been able to reach a satisfactory contractual arrangement with any of the programme's local service providers who are responsible for delivering NPfIT applications at a local level. They have indicated that for the time being they intend to continue managing their business on the current basis. The NPfIT would prefer that EMIS were participating more directly in its on-going programme. However, there are certain contractual and operational conditions that come with direct participation, which EMIS have, to date, had difficulty in accepting. It is a matter for EMIS to decide whether the company will contract with one or more local service provider. If they are unable or unwilling to do this, it is open to them to continue to supply their systems as long as GPs choose to buy them.

Tim Loughton: To ask the Secretary of State for Health if he will publish the terms of his contract with EDS to supply electronic appointment technology to the NHS; and if he will list the other firms that were invited to tender for the contract to supply electronic appointment technology to the NHS. [75521] Mr. Hutton: [holding answer 21 October 2002]: No contract has been awarded to EDS to supply electronic appointment system technology to the National Health Service. In line with the information technology procurement strategy proposed for the national programme for IT in the NHS, a selection process is underway using the NHScat managed services framework to identify and select a single ``prime service partner'' for electronic booking. The successful prime service partner will be contracted to provide and supply software products and planning and implementation services to local health communities jointly with potential systems and services suppliers. All companies on the NHS national framework agreement (NHScat), who were successful in the managed services category, were invited to submit proposals to become the prime service partner for the electronic booking project. The selection process is ongoing. A detailed evaluation was held of the twelve companies listed to provide IT managed services within the NHScat framework. These are BT Health, Computer Science Corporation (CSC), EDS, Elonex, Fujitsu Services, Hewlett Packard, Integris, Specialist Computer Centres (SCC), SX3, Siemens, Unisys, and Viglen. Following that, EDS and BT Health have been invited to put forward detailed proposals as potential IT managed service prime service partners for electronic booking systems. Any award of contract will be subject to successful conclusion of negotiations and approval of a formal business case. The selection process is being conducted under the supervision of the NHS Purchasing and Supplies Agency.
