Delay in NHS Comp system
 

The plans for Computerising the NHS in Engand will be delayed even further after a suppliers contract wa terminated. Fujitsu's contract was terminted at a cost of around £900,000, the total cost is going to be £12.7 billion. This IT system, which is already 4 years behind, will transfer all patient records to computer

Oh please Ema don't go there yet, I'm depressed enough as it is :rolleyes:

Re: Delay in NHS Comp system
 

£1 bilion for the system and 11.7 billion for backhanders to get the contract :rolleyes:

So many government departments have got into a mess when replacing people with new technology.
The computer cannot (yet) replace people successfully.
When oil runs out we will have power rationing.
Anyone know of a computer that can work by candlelight?

Re: Delay in NHS Comp system
 

Another demonstration of the Government simply not understanding technology.

Anyone after ID cards? ;)

Private Eye ran an in-depth story about this quite some time ago, during the Blair era. At that point, the cost was quoted at £12.4 billion although, like the cost of the London Olympics, the amount is rising all the time.

As they said, £12.4 billion would pay for...

26,000 doctors for ten years.

65,000 nurses for ten years.

The NHS's record 2005/06 decifict 23 times over.

every hospital built since 1997 three times over.

Instead, we have a potentially unworkable IT system.

Classic New Labour. :(

Chuck in the cost of two illegal wars, the renewal of Trident and the forever escalating Quangoes and you can see why there is a national deficit of some £700 billion.

Brown for selling much of our gold reserves for a knock down price to fund Blair’s follies have a lot to answer for.

If any family run their finances in the same manner as Labour run the country’s that family would have declared bankruptcy long ago.
