Eilidh - congratulations on a very sensible but also critical blog. The press hysteria and lack of perspective which attachs to every single action of the NHS National Programme for IT is truly astonishing. Do journalists think that there are never setbacks in any major IT project? With the NHS everything is done in public and everyone has their opinion of what 'should' have been done. The logical conclusion of the majority of the press coverage is that the entire project should be scrapped. However when you ask journalists about it they throw their hands up in horror and say that would be a preposperous thing to do. It would be good if the press could consider the effects of constant ill-informed, headline-grabbing and short-term journalism.
