The health and social care secretary, Matt Hancock, has pledged almost half a billion pounds to transform technology in the NHS.
In his first speech since being appointed to the post, Hancock will announce a £487m funding package to create “the most advanced health system in the world”. He will vow to drive cultural change within the NHS and social care sector, working with staff to embrace the latest technology in order to reduce their workload and improve patient care.
Addressing staff at West Suffolk hospital, Hancock will list technology, the workforce and prevention of illness as his early top priorities. “From today, let this be clear: tech transformation is coming,” he will say. “The opportunities of new technology, done right across the whole of health and social care, are vast. Let’s work together to seize them.”

So, is this in addition to the £20bn? 🙄
