Digital health sector reacts to ‘record’ investment in NHS

In the government’s latest spending review, Rachel Reeves announced a £10bn funding boost in order to bring the NHS ‘into the digital age’.

Leaders in the digital health sector spoke to Digital Health, offering their responses to this latest announcement.

Our CEO and Founder, Alison Gardiner said:

“The scale of today’s NHS settlement reflects just how vital a functioning health service is to national recovery.

But as Sir Jim Mackey rightly said, this isn’t a moment to take our foot off the pedal – especially in mental health, where need continues to outpace provision.

As we build a more resilient NHS, the £10bn tech investment commitment must prioritise treatments that are evidence-based, cost-effective and accessible.

That includes better support for people with long-term conditions like insomnia, where scalable digital care is already delivering results.”
