Our new Secretary of State Liz Kendall @leicesterliz arrived at the department yesterday, here’s what she had to say 👇

AI is transforming public services, like helping doctors diagnose lung cancer faster. The Annalise AI tool reads every adult chest X-ray immediately, spotting potential issues and prioritising urgent cases, so patients get treatment sooner. 🔗 gds.blog.gov.uk/2025/08/18/the…

🚀 The PM’s AI Exemplars Programme is testing AI across public services like justice, education, and the @NHS. By piloting and scaling what works, it’s helping doctors discharge patients faster and speeding up planning decisions for homeowners. 🔗 gds.blog.gov.uk/2025/08/18/the…

This is exactly the kind of change we need, AI being used to give doctors, probation officers and other key workers more time to focus on delivering better outcomes and speeding up vital services.

AI can transform our public services. But only with an active government willing to seize it. We’re harnessing AI to free up doctors’ time, speed up discharges, reduce waiting lists and get patients home quicker. This is our Plan for Change in action.

AI is transforming government services 🔀 The Prime Minister is backing three new ways we’re using AI to improve areas that impact you the most, like housing, hospitals, and the justice system. Find out more: gov.uk/government/new…
