You may well find that HAs (while they are involved) choose to skew
reimbursement intended for the (laudable) aim of getting GPs
connected so as to pressure practices into taking on other computer
systems and enriching outside suppliers.
But perhaps not.
So, the minimum cost is something like an entry level PC, with
router or modem, and with whatever version of Exchange the NHS Net
installation involves fitting to it. The free Exchange Client I
don't think can handle X400 and so on.
A PCG might reasonably aim to put one of thoes in each location I
think. Like the Scotts
Then plug that into the network as the rest arrives.
