Our Response
I refer to your
email requesting information in respect of NHS East
Midlands
ICT 09/10
strategy.
I can confirm in
accordance with S.1 (1) of the Freedom of Information Act
2000
that we do hold
some information in respect of your request.
I will address
each of your points in turn:-
1. ICT
Strategy 0910
NHS East
Midlands does not have an ICT Directorate or an ICT
Strategy.
The Strategic
Health Authority (SHA) does have a
Strategic IM&T
directorate
which is active
in influencing the national agenda for the NHS
National
Programme for
Information Technology (NPfIT) whilst supporting local NHS
organisations. We do not
have a separate Strategic IM&T plan for this
organisation –
the East Midlands Strategic IM&T plan is the sum
of
our constituent
Primary Care Trust’s (PCTs) Strategic IM&T Plans
–
these are
available from our PCTs at the link below:-
http://www.eastmidlands.nhs.uk/the-local-nhs/nhs-organisations
2. ICT
Structure (diagram please)
NHS East Midlands does not have an ICT Structure
chart or diagram.
The most up-to-date IM&T structure chart can be
found on our website
via the following
link. Please remember to check this page
regularly
as the chart is likely to be
updated within the
next two weeks:-

3. The
Trusts Business/Annual/Corporate Plan
NHS East Midlands is not a trust. As an SHA,
our role is to relay and
explain national policy, set direction and support
and develop all
NHS Trust bodies (Primary Care Trusts and NHS
Trusts providing acute,
mental health and ambulance services). We ensure
that local health
systems operate effectively and efficiently for our
population. This includes
making certain that national standards and
priorities are met so that the
population of the East Midlands is cared for in
high quality, safe
environments and services are continuously improved
and developed.
