“The UK is increasingly a digital nation. People expect high quality, effective digital services and where public services can be delivered online,
this should happen as soon as possible.”
The Civil Service Reform plan

DCPCharlotte
**
It’s ‘digital first’ for health and care
‘Digital first’ makes a firm commitment to adopting digital methods to deliver healthcare,
but makes clear that face-to-face contact with our health and care professionals will remain an
essential, core part of our care.
DCPCharlotte
**
Two key projects that will change the way health and care information is provided
in the future.
DCPCharlotte
**
The single domain for government: GOV.UK
An integrated platform for health and care
DCPCharlotte
**
GOV.UK is launching on 17 October
DCPCharlotte
**
The new home for all government services and information
DCPCharlotte

It will be simpler, clearer and faster for users
DCPCharlotte

Focused on user needs, not government needs

It will save central government £50m-£70m per year from the services it replaces
