We prefer to use links. However, if you look at the total annual running
costs (50% maintenance costs to computer supplier, telephone charges,
network charges) you would have to save a lot of practice staff time to
balance that. Sure the staff time saving at the FHSA/HA end will be
significant but unfortunately we pay for that.
Our HA will reimburse 50%. We have pressed for 100% but have so far only
got that for initial installation costs only.
