It was a waterfall project implemented backwards without thought or care by a government who thought spending money was a substitute for thinking.
What they should have done was designing a protocol for patient health data and the means of transferring it across systems. That would have let the existing providers to continue creating data while they could think about how to sensible store the data nationally.
Of course that didn't give them big projects to announce and give to their mates so it would never happen under a labour government.
At least Tony Blair will shortly be officially called the war criminal he is.
