This is exactly the kind of change we need, AI being used to give doctors, probation officers and other key workers more time to focus on delivering better outcomes and speeding up vital services.

AI can transform our public services. But only with an active government willing to seize it. We’re harnessing AI to free up doctors’ time, speed up discharges, reduce waiting lists and get patients home quicker. This is our Plan for Change in action.

Speaking to frontline workers can help you to understand AI’s full potential and its possibilities. @ChelwestFT are trialling a new AI tool to speed up discharge papers and cut doctors’ admin. This is one of three new AI exemplars the PM is backing today.

We're shaking up how we use tech to improve public services. For too long, antiquated processes have held the country back. Overhauling digital services will speed up delays for citizens and stop admin wasting their time. This is our vision for a modern digital government.

Being a new parent is busy enough, so finding the time to travel to your local register office can be really difficult. The new Data Bill is set to ease this burden, by allowing parents to register their baby’s birth online in the future.
