Government introduces new review and tracking for legacy technology remediation funding.
Conclusion
A blueprint for modern digital government sets out government’s intention to identify remediation funding for legacy technology. DSIT told us the new Government Digital Service will work with HM Treasury to review all spending review bids for legacy remediation to assess their credibility and ambition, while also tracking the allocated money which in the past had too often been reallocated elsewhere.14 It also intends to pilot funding on a continuous improvement basis to ensure that IT systems are maintained over the long–term.15
