IT expert raises concerns about NHS IT project
Some extracts from the report:
"Professor Martyn Thomas of Oxford said that glitches in booking appointments for patients in some hospitals using the system were not fully addressed before the next phase of the scheme was embarked on."
"The IT project is so big, that if it went completely wrong, it poses the danger of "wrecking the NHS", Professor Thomas added."
"The man in charge of the project, 42-year-old Richard Granger, failed his computer studies course at Bristol University, it recently emerged."
"Earning an annual salary of £280,000, Mr Granger is the top-earning civil servant in the UK."
What a colossal, risky, grandiose waste of time and public money this unnecessary and largely unwanted exercise in folly is!
