NHS England has introduced new plans for IT service funding for GPs, the IT fund of £230 million will be used to upgrade current systems and services used by GP practices across England.

The funding plan is designed to provide increased funding while driving greater value for money and create centralised service.

Beverley Bryant, director of strategic systems and technology at NHS England, said: “This operating model sets out how we will achieve high quality primary care digital systems that support the provision of a more efficient, responsive and integrated service for patients whilst empowering them to have greater control over their health and care.”
