Cloud21 View | Welcome £10bn NHS investment must deliver on promised benefits

"The Chancellor's announcement to increase the NHS technology budget by almost 50%, with £10bn of investment, is a clear signal of intent to modernise our health system. The foundations have been laid. Digital maturity is improving, and we're entering a new phase of moving from reactive care to predictive, preventative models. This is the key to unlocking efficiencies and driving better outcomes.

It's important to note that transformation doesn't end at go-live. Digital maturity is a lifecycle. Technology must evolve with the system, and we must continue to support frontline teams to adapt, embed change, and maximise value.

It's imperative that we align technology to purpose, bridge the gap between digital tools and their promised benefits, and ensure we're not just investing in tech - but in outcomes. That means helping clinical and operational staff work differently in a digital environment, and focusing relentlessly on improving patient safety and care.

The investment is a huge opportunity and we're committed to supporting the NHS to deliver a resilient, digitally-enabled system that bridges the gap between technology and clinical to drive patient-centred care, improve outcomes and digital productivity."
