Robots could soon replace nurses by performing jobs like dispensing drugs, taking temperatures and cleaning up wards.
Health ministers say the machines will make caring for patients cheaper and safer — after trials showed robots make fewer mistakes.
A Department of Health spokesman said: “One robot being developed has an arm like C-3PO in Star Wars. It can mix cancer drugs at an amazing speed.”
Prototypes are being tested in hospitals in Newcastle upon Tyne, Warwick and London.
