Baroness Hilary Armstrong chairs the Government’s Digital Inclusion Action Committee and is joined by Professor Dean Fathers, Chair of Health Innovation North East and North Cumbria, for a 90-minute discussion.

In this episode they explore how the Government’s Digital Inclusion Action Plan is being rolled out and why it is more important than ever to ensure no one is left behind.

The speakers reflect on why digital inclusion matters now, how it links to wider government policy, and the role that health organisations, local government, the voluntary and community sector, and industry can play in improving access to digital skills and technology.
