Dr Foster future under review...


The review will explore strategic options for the future of Dr Foster Intelligence. This follows the recent White Paper 'Equity and Excellence: Liberating the NHS', which stated the Government’s commitment to the introduction of an NHS information revolution, providing patients with quality information and data on all aspects of healthcare.  This review is in line with the Government’s policy to maximise the value of assets and commercial opportunities as explained in the findings of the Arm’s Length Bodies Review.

Health Minister Simon Burns said: “In the White Paper 'Equity and Excellence: Liberating the NHS', we set out a vision for an information revolution to give patients greater choice and control. We will publish our information strategy paper in the Autumn. This review will ensure that the Department of Health is making the most of Dr Foster Intelligence.”
