Paragraph: 45
Shortage of skilled digital professionals impedes NHS digital transformation and increases reliance on suppliers.
Conclusion
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.
