£12 billion NHS IT project is a colossal financial fiasco

The sickening £12 billion NHS fiasco - Telegraph (article by Richard Bacon, MP)

Extracts:

"The project is costing more than £12 billion, enough to pay for 60,000 nurses for 10 years, or for Britain's participation in Iraq and Afghanistan twice over."

"Today, Parliament's spending watchdog publishes a report on this multi-billion-pound fiasco, which concludes: "At the present rate of progress, it is unlikely that significant clinical benefits will be delivered by the end of the contract period." The whole project has been an object lesson in how not do it. There are some basic rules of thumb that apply to successful IT projects: start small, do it in stages, learn from your mistakes, resist the grand vision thing, scale up only when you know what you are doing, and - above all - talk to the people who will use it."

Just think how much more useful it would have been to spend this wasted money on more nurses instead - and more cleaners for Britain's dirty hospitals...)o:
