Is your health system wasting millions of pounds on IT, too? Not so many
years ago one Midland Health Authority installed a fantastic new system
throughout its empire. Cost millions when millions meant MILLIONS. Pity
it had to be scrapped shortly afterwards. In the UK now our inestimable
Prime Minister has this delusion that EVERY patient will be able to make
appointments by IT with their GP at any time - and so on, and so on. It
has no more crossed his mind how than that of his Health Secretary who
promised 7000 extra doctors. Nor has Blair thought about the cost, even it
it were feasible, and how that NHS cash could be better spent on hips,
hearts, knees, asthma, heart failure - or even Viagra (!). Have the IT
wallahs considered that as they wade into the NHS £millions nationwide to
indulge their hobby?
