Although Vamp sent us NHS number updating software, all four Health
Authorities to whom we are linked preferred to use the reconcilliation
method which we have used previously - ie we download data to them on
3.5inch disc and they return it the same day (in the case of 2 HAs)
with amendments showing the new number as an amendment. Very easy.

The problem with Vamp and the "disc from the HA method" is that 5.25 inch
floppies must be generated by the HA, and our responsible HA didn't have
a 5.25 inch drive in the whole organization :-)

As far as I know, suppliers are being paid a flat payment by the HA
centrally, dependent on the number of sites, and not dependent upon
whether a formal upgrade is necessary.
