The NHS has launched the Elective Recovery Technology Fund (ERTF). As part of wider targeted investment supporting elective recovery, the ERTF will make £250m available across regions before 29 Oct 2021 deadline.

It is a part of the NHS Guidance on finance and contracting arrangements for H2 2021/22 published on 30 September 2021. The TIF is a flexible £700 million fund comprising capital and revenue funding which has been established as part of the Government’s ‘Build Back Better Plan’ for health and social care. The £250 million allocated to the ERTF is exclusively for digital technology that will enable elective recovery.
