NPfIT ignored NHS culture, says Halligan • The Register

NPfIT ignored NHS culture, says Halligan • The Register

An interesting article from Professor Halligan but I don't think that most people in the NHS would agree with this comment of his in the article:
Halligan said that the NHS had received too much money in the last decade.
"Bring on the recession, is what I say. We've had too much of it," with high
levels of funding allowing the introduction of new projects without fundamental
rethinks of how things work. "There will be more change in healthcare in the
next five years than in the last 10," he said, adding: "IT will be at the heart
of it."
