If it is religion then N&E Devon Trusts have lapsed.
One of the problems in NHS IM&T IMHO is that IM&T departments are
run by Finance Directors, many of whom are excellent chaps, but with
a particular approach to data and only modest understanding of IT.
There is some point to Caldicott guardians, and the report was
better than what seemed likely beforehand. Now it needs
implementing in fact.
