Leeds is making strong progress towards becoming a 'smart' city including the ability to share and exchange information across the whole city system. Informatics and the digital technology it oversees is seen as central to delivery of this ambition. Leeds is the agreed footprint for the Local Digital Roadmap covering the three Leeds NHS Clinical Commissioning Groups and the local health and care providers, including all GP Practices.
