I was thinking specifically about those computer "programmes" where money seems to have been spent like water in the NHS and in some cases the whole thing has been abandoned... I know that it happens in Private industry as well, but not to the same extent, it seems that some contractors see Gov-run business as a gravy train to be milked as much as possible... bit of mixed metaphors, but you know what I mean...
Someone has to get a grip on things... If that means buying "off the shelf" stuff rather than developing new then so be it... After all do we really need stuff that is different to what the French, German, US, etc. are using?
