However, it might also mean that NHS Trust's buy/license the software they actually need instead of putting the whole kaboodle on everything "because it's free".

Seen a few national agreements in the NHS. Every single one of them cost more than they would have done locally, because they are specced to the highest common demoninator, even though the vast majority don't need or want it.

Saving money in the NHS should be like shooting fish in a barrel. They could start by ditching the idea that a high pay scale=knowledge about everything.

And while we are at it they can ditch the tax credits system. Why pay people under the odds and then pay a whole army of other people to top that up to a living wage? Pay 'em the right money in the first place and cut out the middle-man.
I know this is a totally off-the-wall idea but perhaps we could start making things again?

The solution is simpler than that - tax credit is basically a refund of tax paid, although there are cases where claimaints can get more than the tax they paid.

So why not just reduce taxes for the low paid - paid for by doing away with tax credits...

What about if people simply pay taxes, and those who warrant benefits are simply paid... benefits?

It's radical I know.

Why not do away with work and taxes altogether. We could all be on benefits.

If things need to be done then we could import workers from poorer parts of the world. If we need to pay for things we could just borrow it or even print it.

Simples.

The previous government liked to convince us that "Tax Credits" and "Benefits" weren't the same thing, that way they could convince us that they'd reduced the amount of benefits being paid out.

See "Tax Credits" "Benefits", not even sound same - simples!
