The Health and Social Care Information Centre (HSCIC) is set to begin extended testing of the new NHS e-Referral Service, a system that will replace the retired Choose and Book programme.
The original planned “go live” date of the new NHS e-Referral system, which is predicted to save NHS England around 20% in costs, has been delayed until spring 2015.
The Health and Social Care Information Centre (HSCIC) has revealed that the NHS e-Referral Service is set to go live on 15th now.
NHS e-Referrals, the replacement for the now retired Choose and Book Service, went live yesterday with a slightly bumpy start.
The Public Accounts Committee (PAC) has criticised the NHS, claiming that meeting its waiting time targets is undermined by incorrectly recording waiting time information.
