NHS Digital merged with NHS England on 1 February 2023. The NHS has been redesigned around the creation of integrated care systems, and this requires a redesign at the centre of the NHS in England. Data and technology power our NHS.  They are crucial to: • working in more efficient ways • improving diagnosis and treatment • understanding and improving our services This merger will reduce duplication, bringing the NHS’s national data and technology expertise together into one organisation. This will allow us to collaborate more effectively and to empower local organisations to benefit from data and technology, supporting the best care for patients. https://digital.nhs.uk/about-nhs-digital/nhs-digital-merger-with-nhs-england
