Leeds-based NHS Digital provides national information, data and IT systems for healthcare systems throughout England as part of the Department of Health.

The move is one of several changes occurring in the health department’s technology arm. That same month, Executive Director Beverley Bryant will leave NHS Digital for a senior role at System C. CTO Sarah Wilkinson will replace Andy Williams, who retired at the end of March, as the division’s new CEO.
