I'm with 1:47. Hoping for an IT miracle that will save the NHS billions is just as ridiculous, though not quite as expensive as the waste of public money presided over by CfH. (Yes, it may have not have been an unqualified disaster, but it was still a shambles.) Alistair trips lightly over the "no money" issue, but like the NHS just because much of today's IT is free at the point of use, it still costs money to deploy. We need experts and they need to be working to a plan whether they are working on local or national projects. Nothing will come of nothing and hoping for an IT Fairy Godmother to appear, even this close to the panto season, is hopelessly naive.
