The relevance.
In 2000 the UK Government published the NHS Plan that set out a major programme of investment and reform to modernise the NHS.
The new IT infrastructure will connect more than 100,000 doctors, 380,000 nurses and 50,000 other healthcare professionals.
An important element of this modernising plan (Connecting for Health) is to ensure that all patient records will be held electronically and be accessible on a secure basis across the NHS network to deliver better quality care for patients. The budget for this programme is circa GBP 30 billion.
In 2003/04 there were:
1.4 million NHS employees
325 million consultations with GPs or nurses in primary care
13.3 million outpatient consultations
5.4 million people admitted to hospital for planned treatment
