oh dear: NHS chaos exposed by new e-mails

[mcquiggd]

Anyone remeber a series years ago called the Gravy Train about the EU...?

It will feature numerous officials with meaningless job titles, being paid obscene amounts of money for what is effectively willful espionage on their own systems.

Excellent idea BGG.

BTW, did you mean "willful sabotage"? I'm not sure the humour in "willful espionage" is easy to get across.

And did you mean "willful"? In the picture you have painted, "oblivious" might do better. As in "oblivious to the fact they are sabotaging their own systems." Or perhaps just "oblivious to their own systems."

Why bother sabotaging a public sector project..? They are doomed from the beginning... as soon as a big consultancy gets involved (and then ironically starts trying to recruit expertise from the contracting world, having done their worst to to destroy us), the consultancy goes into 'damage limitation mode' which means - get the money, sue if we dont get paid, and then pay off those in a position to award future contracts.

About the only thing that keeps consultancies alive is that they know that the people who are responsible for overseeing public contracts come and go.... so they can use all sorts of american-style selling tactics to people who arent aware of their long history of failure.....


P.S and to correct an earlier point, not all of the current NHS projects requires security clearance... I was working on the At Risk Register with CHI and SKI and ive never been cleared for such access.

Hmmm. Perhaps just "oblivious" then.
