UK The Conservatives would scrap plans for a nationally available electronic patient record and halt, and then seek to renegotiate, the remainder of £5bn-worth of deals to provide the NHS record locally, Stephen O’Brien, the Conservative health spokesman, said on Monday.
Publishing a review of the £12bn NHS IT programme which is running years behind schedule, Mr O’Brien said the Tories would seek to “dismantle Labour’s central NHS IT infrastructure”.
