Digital records are a ‘basic responsibility’, health secretary Sajid Javid says as he announces that 80% of social care providers will have digital care records by March 2024.

Speaking at the Care England 2022 conference yesterday, Mr Javid said that currently 40% of providers still have almost entirely paper-based records.

He said that the £150m the Government is investing to drive digitisation in social care was not a ‘nice to have’ but was an ‘absolute necessity.’

‘We know that digitising records brings huge advances, yet 40% of providers still have almost entirely paper-based records,’ he said.

‘I think Digital Records are basic responsibility, and that’s why I’ve set the target of 80% of social care providers digitising care records by March 2024. In doing that, you will have our absolute support.’
