In Sheffield, if you're not doing links upgrades basically it's the same. We did help out some stuck M/Doc practices who needed massive upgrades as an emergency one-off measure. >LMC feels that computer systems funds should be ring-fenced Personally I agree but I think I may be in the minority of HA staff, I also think it should be set at a reasonable level bearing in mind the chronic lack of investment in recent years. With H/w prices so low at present, it's too good an opportunity to miss, but it looks like we will. >Where should we go from here? The current NHS IMG Strategy is going to fail (if its not already) due to a lack of funding at the right places. Maybe the upcoming review will re-target the priorities and funding. <FOL> Mick ~ Rebel with a soldering iron ~ ########################################################## ## ## ### Sliding Sideways Every Thursday Unless It Rains... ### #### Mick Ibbotson [log in to unmask] #### ##### ##### ########################################################## %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
