NPfIT starts 2005

Guardian Unlimited | Online | A problem shared

Michael Cross writing in todays Guardian Online summarises the first month of 2005 for the National Programme for IT in the NHS and it can't make happy reading for those trying to put this raft of initiatives into place.

Particularly worrying must be the decision of 2 NHS Trusts to go their own way and procure IT systems on the open market rather than waiting for the National Programme to deliver.
