NHS England has had their public funding for integrated digital care cut to £43m instead of £240m. This may result in several NHS IT projects having to be severely scaled back or cut altogether.

The funds are believed to have been cut to accommodate hospitals that have been struggling.

The first round of the integrated digital care fund was open to NHS Trusts to support the transfer of paper-based clinical record-keeping to integrated digital care records (IDCRs).
