Labour has promised to fast track the roll out of artificial intelligence technologies which can cut NHS waiting lists and improve care for patients, if it wins the next General Election.

Shadow Technology Secretary Peter Kyle said companies developing these technologies often get caught up in a “quagmire” of red tape, as they need to obtain approval from up to 11 different regulators. He said Labour is planning to set up the Regulatory Innovation Office , which will set priorities for those regulators. That will ensure life-saving medical technologies are “put to the front of the queue” so they can be approved quicker but safety standards will not be compromised, Mr Kyle added.

Mr Kyle said he got “a glimpse to a much more efficient and effective future” at the hospital in Huddersfield and he believes this technology could have been used to save his mother, who died after her lung cancer was missed by several scans. “There’s no question that AI is already benefiting patients,” said Mr Kyle. “This isn’t a technology that’s on the horizon. It’s already saving lives today, making the work of clinicians more effective and transforming the patient experience.
