Government Digital Strategy Implementation

The Cabinet Office and DSIT are implementing a government-wide digital transformation strategy to build digital capability across the civil service, with targets including 10% of civil servants having digital expertise by 2026 and all departments appointing digital non-executive directors. The initiative aims to reduce reliance on external digital consultants (saving up to £500 million annually) and improve digital procurement and legacy technology management, though current progress shows only 5.5% of civil servants meet the expertise target as of April 2025.

A shortage of skilled digital professionals working in the NHS has been a barrier to digital transformation to date. Digital specialists can often command higher wages or better conditions in the private sector. This makes recruitment and retention to the NHS challenging, and leaves the health service reliant on third-party suppliers.

To ensure that the NHS is able to recruit the best candidates and sustainably meet demand for DDaT specialists, now and in the future, we recommend that the Department apply to implement the DDaT Pay Framework for NHS England DDaT specialists, which would allow additional pay measures including bonuses/”capability based allowances” for staff.
