Whoa - steady on
Remove all the competition? Remember Scotland and GPass (a GP system) -
bought for all in Scotland - and absolutely awful by all accounts and
not really improved
This is now being repeated with a much better GPass - but the concept is
about the same
But at the same time you are correct in wanting a system
Infact what we need is multiple suppliers of systems that may do
different things but that handle information in the same way - eg with
the use of tag - XML is an example and may well be the way things go
Some also argue for 'open source' systems - but I doubt the suppliers
would agree to this
