According to one of my neighbours, who is a practice manager, the whole thing is a pile of tulipe. Choose & Book doesn't work properly, and appointments are not confirmed until the last minute so people keep missing them (you're hardly going to take a day off for a tentative appointment are you?) What a waste of £6bn (so far anyway, it's anyone's guess as to how much the final bill is going to be).

"Doctors have called for a review into the £6.2bn NHS computer project, according to a survey by BBC News.
The IT upgrade aims to link up 30,000 GPs to nearly 300 hospitals in a radical overhaul of the NHS IT network."
So, lets see, a quick back of the envelope calculation and that is:
£6.2bn / 30,000 GPs = £206,000 per GP
What the f**k are they doing, handing out 24ct solid gold computers to everyone?

So true.
NHS are a nice cash provider though - I made an INSANE amount of money trashing their old Xenix systems and installing PCs and networks so this software can be run. Not only that it won't on half the old PCs because they're obsolete now. Brilliant - I can do it again!

Obvious thing is to pay EDS the billions owed, scrap it and then commission EDS to create new system (New Labour - New Systems) for a few billion more.
HTH
