<p>We have increased the adoption of digital social care records (DSCRs) by Care Quality
Commission (CQC) registered providers from 40% in December 2021, to at least 63% in
February 2024. In January 2024, the Department updated this target to ensure that
80% of CQC registered providers and 80% of people who receive care will have a DSCR
in place by March 2025. By extending timeframes, we can ensure that care providers
who are yet to digitise have the time and support needed to successfully adopt DSCRs,
and to reduce the risk of regional disparities in DSCR uptake. We’ve allocated a further
£25 million this financial year, to ensure as many people as possible can benefit
from a DSCR.</p>
