PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Defence Medical Services: ICT (12 September 2018)

Any terminal of MODNet, the Defence IT system, can be configured for use with the Defence Medical Services IT system (Defence Medical Information Capability Programme - DMICP). In addition, 214 DMICP laptops are available for deployed operations and exercises. As an illustrative snapshot, in August 2018 there were 5,746 unique users (fixed and deployed) registered on the system.

DMICP went live at the first medical facility, at Chicksands, on 16 February 2007 and was then rolled out site by site. Since DMICP was introduced, it has been subject to a number of changes and improvements. Defence is in the process of replacing DMICP to better support the delivery of healthcare. In the meantime, updates continue to be made to improve performance.
