Earl Howe

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether the target date of April 2002, by which all clinicians are to be connected to the National Health Service information network, will be met. [HL1038]

Lord Hunt of Kings Heath

Our target of enabling desktop access for all clinical staff in National Health Service trusts by March 2002 is well on the way to being met. Indications are that clinicians will have access appropriate to their local working practice by the target date.
