Thank you, Cabinet Secretary. The widespread adoption of digital technologies means we don’t need to require people who are ill to travel long distances to see doctors anymore. It frustrates me that the NHS often defaults to sending letters or even faxes—surely one of the last bastions of the use of the fax machine in modern society. It’s often patient confidentiality or security that’s cited as barriers as to why these innovations can’t be adopted. But advances are being made in England and the UK common technology services, which are linked to the Cabinet Office, is offering secure internet for the public sector without the need to resort to expensive private networks. I do feel that we need to confront these barriers to make sure that we are capturing the innovation available to other parts of the society for patients within the NHS.
