NHS IT project doom

Channel 4 news had a brief article on the possibilty of failure in the current NHS IT integration project.

This should surprise no one as;
1) Most government IT projects fail - in the US as well as the UK.
2) The basic faults of the current approach have been a regular feature in Computing - a great IT industry weekly magazine in the UK.

Of course since the New Labour project is based on manipulation of peoples realities (aka Spin) they have little understanding of real world projects.

This will cost us ....

PS Don't start me on the connections between New Labour and the management consultancies.
