Another National Database failure, £40bn of taxpayer money later, and it still isn’t working, is likely never to be finished, and the information held in it, is in the majority incorrect.

A leading group of academics have today published a report into the progress of the NPfIT programme within the NHS.

Fraud and FAILURE are the only words to describe this government plan. 

A massive fraud by the government, this dossier is damning in highlighting failure after failure, companies taking monies in excess of £900,000 even though they were going bust, consultancies pulling out of the programme, penalty payments to suppliers by the government, cover-ups, mis-information, incorrect data, and an apparent lack of written objectives.

That’s on top of the concerns about security, Data Protection, data sharing, potential for misuse of data and uploading data without permission. 

Despite being told by the medical profession that such a national database provided no medical benefits, was not needed, not wanted and not supported, the government pushed ahead and has wasted to date £40bn of taxpayers money.

How much use would the £40bn have been to the taxpayers of Britain if it had been given to the Health Trusts to use on front line health care.

Time for the government to put a stop to this.  Dont even waste more money on a public enquiry.  just Halt the NPfIT now.
