The EHI Intelligence NHS IT Market Forecast Report for 2012 provides in-depth analysis of the main trends shaping the NHS IT market, focusing on acute and mental health trusts.

In spite of negative comment about the abandoned National Programme for IT in the NHS and general gloom in the public sector, England’s hospitals are set to increase their spend on IT over the next three years.

The Market Forecast Report calculates that local NHS trust spending on information technology is set to rise by 3.7% CAGR (compound annual growth rate) over the next three years. This will take the total size of the locally-determined English NHS hospital and mental health trust IT market to £883m by 2014-15.
