The content returned from Google is in HTML format when it thinks
someone is abusing their system with too many requests. As a result,
the browser tries to execute the HTML as JavaScript, but as it is HTML
instead there is a runtime error (thus preventing any further scripts
from running).
Unfortunately, this is not that easy to duplicate (unless you happen
to be on the NHS network or some other large WAN) - at this very
moment it is working, but I never know when it is going to fall over
again. I don't know if the issue is localised or WAN-wide.
There is an NHS site that uses Google Maps already: http://www.qof.ic.nhs.uk
(not powered by jQuery though) and the main NHS.UK site uses Virtual
Earth, but there are no plugins for working with that.
