I recently finished a fixed term contract working for a pretty IT savvy NHS Trust. The NHS has been forced by central government to reallocate IT (and other infrastructure) monies to front line services. They are also trapped by legacy software with dependencies on old (and proprietary) Windows systems and software. Now obviously stupid, but actually historic stupidity which was in the 1990s disguised as good business and standard practice. Not to mention the Clinical Information Systems which look and behave as if it is still the 1990’s. Apart from that, everything is fine.
