The NHS CIO is to step down at the end of April, just months after taking the post.
Matthew Swindells was acting as interim boss of the £12.4bn National Programme for IT (NPfIT) following the departure of NHS IT director general, Richard Granger, at the beginning of the year.

The Department of Health (DoH) confirmed Swindells - who has been working for the department for three and a half years - is moving out of the public sector to work for Tribal Group, a consultancy to the public sector.
The department is currently in the process of recruiting a director-general-level CIO to act as a full time replacement for Granger.
The new recruit will lead development and delivery of the overall tech strategy for both the health and social care systems.
