damning audit report, page-6

Snippets that caused me to be a little concerned were:

A less sanguine view was offered by, Richard Bacon MP, a member of the Commons Public Accounts Committee, who said: “The latest National Audit Office report could not be clearer. The £12.7 billion national programme for IT in the National health Service is in crisis. The report shows that key systems are late and show little or no sign of ever being produced in any useful form.”

The report makes a series of recommendations, focused on CRS, to strengthen the programme and ensure value for money. They make clear that CRS delivery remains the Achilles heal of the NPfIT programme, with Lorenzo being a particular concern.

But please don't fall for my paranoia, check it out for yourself here:
