The government has set aside £1.9bn to fund development of better care in the NHS, but health authorities' access to it will depend on them making better use of technology, says health secretary Jeremy Hunt.
The fund has been topped up by local health authorities to reach a total of £5bn, but the government’s central fund of £1.9bn cannot be accessed by authorities unless they have met certain standards, such as implementing electronic health records.
The funding can then be used to implement changes needed to address health issues arising from the ageing UK population.
