§ Mr. LansleyTo ask the Secretary of State for Health if he will list those NHS trusts which do not yet use electronic patient records. [167703]
§ Mr. HuttonMost hospitals now have existing patient administration systems and limited or stand alone clinical systems. By the end of 2005, all National Health Service trusts will have some integrated functionality through electronic records to support patient care as part of the NHS care records service. This will begin to be rolled out alongside the electronic appointment booking service from summer 2004, with phased implementation to provide richer functionality over time to 2010.
