Partially accept. The Department partially accepts this recommendation. We agree that e-prescribing should be introduced in hospitals. Work is already underway, with NHS England working on a 3-year programme for hospitals. The Academy of Medical Royal Colleges review of the interface between general practice and hospital service identified a range of insights and practical improvements and this has been shared with systems to action within their local contexts. NHS England will continue to emphasise the importance of improving interface working and gathering systematic GP feedback to inform this. However, we do not agree that mandating a single approach at national level, such as a standardised reporting tool, would be appropriate. Rather, each Integrated Care Board should decide on its own approach, proportionate to local circumstances, to identifying issues, improving communication and agreeing changes to local pathways.
