In 2002 Granger was appointed Director General of Information at the National Health Service, with responsibility for the NHS IT centralisation scheme, NPfIT (National Programme for IT), later rebadged as NHS Connecting for Health or CfH. He announced his resignation in June 2007, saying that he planned to return to the private sector. He transitioned out of the role and left CfH in February 2008.
