The current version of the British National Health Service’s National Programme for IT has been canceled. The program was created in 2002 to ensure that every National Health Service (NHS) patient had an individual electronic health record that could be easily shared across the NHS. However, the rollout of the program has taken longer and cost much more than many expected, and has been called “unworkable” by the Parliament’s Public Accounts Committee. Originally, the program was expected to cost only £2.3 billion over three years. The most recent estimate was £12.7 billion over 11 years and the completion date was pushed back to 2014–2015. The Public Accounts Committee report has shown that even this date was implausible.

An interesting aside…
As a web-and-database developer over many years I developed a web store and customer control system for a long time client. It was all bespoke coding and as the Company was expanding rapidly and I wasn’t getting any younger they decided it might be wise to replace it with a blue-chip US designed system.
The US company recommended several IT companies in the UK who were supposedly savvy with putting it into action.
My client selected one and awarded it a six figure contract to implement the system with a load of cash up front.
There followed months of what was little progress and after investing hundreds of thousands of pounds progress stopped completely and the IT company threw in the towel and collapsed leaving my client with sweet FA other than a few hundred thousand pounds down the drain.
Now the US company were supposedly blue-chip and I would guess that most people on here would have heard the name. Nevertheless, catastrophe ensued.
Biggest is not always best as big tech employees, especially sales are often on bonus contracts for securing licenses and orders as their key driver.
Although semi-retired I am presently assisting a second contender company to pick up the pieces meaning my client will end up paying twice for what was supposedly an off the shelf, top draw solution.
Big is not always the best choice!
Most important that our health records are shared with US Defence contractors such as Palantir.
What I would like to know is why?
MM,
Shame. Maybe the NHS should enlist the help of the CCP. After all, the CCP already have CDBC’s in the bag, facial recognition and much more, all to control their population. And that’s 1.3Billion. The UK and its ‘rapidly growing population’ should be no problem for the chinese…………….
Ah I have found a 2008 Daily Mail article which predates the ITV drama by 15 years
“Village whipround saves postmistress from prison after she admits £36,000 fraud”
To get around the Fujitsu and Post Office lawyers the article used this line
Hamilton, 51, blamed the fraud on the fact that she “didn’t have a clue” about using the post office’s computer system.
Then the article makes it clear it wasn’t actually her fault
Prosecutor Richard Jory said that when Hamilton took over the post office services in 2003, she found it difficult to get to grips with the computerised system. A Post Office audit in 2005 revealed a shortfall of £36,644.89.
Hamilton told the organisation’s bosses that she was suffering “systematic difficulties” with the computerised system.
However, she did not accept that she had taken the cash.
Mr Jory said that despite her initial insistence that she had not taken the money, by her guilty pleas she had now accepted acting dishonestly.

Not as bad a the USA but copping a plea is sane when fighting it can cost a hundred times more.
The perps here should be crapping themselves – they should be held personally liable.
I know of one instance where challenging a £3000 traffic fine (contrived prosecution) would’ve initially cost £30,000 just to bring the disputed matter to court.

To me the proof that someone like Starmer and the CPS should have stepped in earlier was the 15 March 2019, appeal judgement by Mr. Justice Fraser
The Court of Appeal has found that the investigative and disclosure failings of Post Office Limited were
“so egregious as to make the prosecution of any of the “Horizon cases” an affront to the conscience of the court” and that, in their conduct of the prosecutions, the Post Office “reversed the burden of proof”.
It is extremely rare for the Court of Appeal to decide that a prosecution has amounted to an affront to justice. That such a finding has been made in relation to so many cases, and in relation to the conduct of a single private prosecutor, is unprecedented.

Oh my error as I skimmed, that’s a quote from the 2021 judges
The 2019 judgement has many similar quotes
So my point stands

Here’s a question never asked about the Post Office Horizon system.
We are told that it was ‘buggy’ that is somehow failed to correctly calculate or would alter figures somehow at random.
If that is true though, how come it only ever appears to have thrown losses, and never surplusses ?
This is one of the main reasons why I believe it was deliberate..
Thoughtful – perhaps it did produce surpluses which he haven’t been told about yet …. Funny isn’t it – often things are about asking the right question – in this case it was ‘ why have the number of fraud cases by sub post office managers increased so hugely and so quickly ? Inside the post office they knew – but it seems no journos got to it .
Btw – apparently the bbc is repeating a documentary about it from a few years ago – Wednesday night …
The Computer Weekly piece elaborates that the testers in 1998-2000 had discovered “thousands” of bugs….
Reminds me of the Scicon review of the RAF’s Chinook FADEC system software for the Chinook helicopter where they reviewed half the code and found the same and actually said in an interim report to the MoD “we’ve seen enough – we’re stopping there – it’s utter garbage from stem to stern” – BIN IT.
That Post Office (and ICL-Fujitsu) senior management plugged away forcing it on users for another 20 years is criminal.
Trouble in paradise.

Ongoing discussion of the Post Office disaster. Seven sub continental sub postmasters were complaining that their cases vis a vis the disaster, were racist. For ferks sake, 1% of the cases are racist, would it not make more sense to say the other 99% were racist.

Just read this in DT. Its also an apt description of the BBC which is a quango, posing as a private company.
“The Post Office is fully state-owned but is an independent body, a quango run by a well-paid board. Captured by its own management, accountable in practice to nobody – not voters, not shareholders and not politicians – guilty of calamitous failings, suffering from absurd technical deficiencies, it epitomises what happens when the state pretends to be a private company: we get the worst of all worlds, overpaid, mercenary mediocrities with an all-consuming sense of entitlement. Quangos should be abolished, run directly by ministers and government departments, or privatised. “
(excerpt).
https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2024/01/10/post-office-scandal-expose-elite-contempt-for-middle-englan/
We know what happened next. At one point I read that Ed Davey (of the Liberal Democrats) was earning £860 per hour working out where the picture stamp should be placed. He now blames the Post Office for not telling him where the Post Office money got all the stamps comes from.
If he later gets a job at the BBC he will be just as ignorant as who pays the BBC TV license, but the BBC pays very, very well and (again) attracts the ‘left’ kind of people who claim to be responsible and then blame everyone else when they move on. I still cannot believe he was paid £863 per hour by the Post Office, imagine what he could earn as a pink shirted BBC manager and earn even more with very little effort and a lot of fluff.
The UK is now run by such quangos. The Post Office, the NHS and the BBC (add in several hundred more such as National Trust) are clearly a job lot of failures of management.
In a better world the magic roundabout of non exec – charity – public bodies – huge wages and a guaranteed gong would stop – failure is not punished – they just move on – o even worse – get multiple jobs …..
This will never stop of course because it’s the fall back for politicians …..
Which is why the BBC aren’t reporting on Argentina?
– just maybe?
New bbc news intro
Philip_2
I can tell you from practical experience that out of control quangos are a plague… They are stuffed with incompetent and arrogant gits who know that they’re beyond the reach of Ministers and Parliament – in fact they swagger + thumb their noses at oversight / accountability repeatedly. The Tories started the quango thing but it took Blair’s goons to hand a load of unaccountable power to grasping and greedy bureaucrats. All carrots and sticks are verboten.
The Conservatives are aware of this but they don’t know (I reckon) what to do about it (The Javier Millei chainsaw option terrifies most of them)
I’ve my own spat with the Environment Agency who ignore Judge’s instructions from Judicial Review, lie and misrepresent on an industrial scale, ignore The Ombudsman’s recommendations about their proven (and agreed) maladministrations and indulge in persistent, malicious and devious mistreatment of those holding assorted environmental licenses. Fraud is in there too.
The only way presently to legally (afaics) punish a dissolute, misbehaving out of control quango is to withhold their Treasury budget. That scares the hell out of the Sir Humphreys and they’d be next for the chop – so we’re seeing dozens of instances of poor or just evil quango decision taking being kicked into the long grass – to the point where Parliament itself is colluding in the cover ups, with official “on the record” documents disappearing from Parliamentary records. I thought Lindsay Hoyle was a stand-up chap until I dealt with his minions….
Sorry Tomo,
// “The Tories started the quango thing”
Simply not true.
With apologies for referencing the BBC site which refers to “major review of quangos in 1980”:
https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-12020394
Every government fills quangos with their mates and the next government considers a “bonfire of the quangos” that are not “helpful”.
They’ve been around and filling their boots with our taxes as long as I can remember.
yes… I stand corrected.
I just have this feeling that there’s been an acceleration in the process since Major’s time – and that accountability has been ignored.
Quangos are usually devoid of any mechanisms to control them once they start to misbehave/malfunction (and I feel they all do) – being “independent”/ autonomous ‘n all….. – there’s no “quasi” about them.
The government / Parliament can’t disband them – they can only be defunded…?
It’s not a question of “helpful” – some have powers – and those powers in my opinion mean that full autonomy is flat out wrong. The lawyers are clucking around the grain bowl of “private prosecution” which is legal BS.
The only redress for wrongs inflicted on the public by these items is the ombudsmen – and it’s clear now that delinquent quangos can just say GFY to them without fear of any consequences whatsoever.
Sounds too wow to be true.
Guardian headline is
“Judge blocks Trump plan to deliver own closing argument in New York fraud trial”
That’s normal, you do get to defend yourself

The trial is a farce – I’ve lost track of the utter fantastical bullshit spouted in the Guardian about it.
They (AG James and Judge Engoron) declared him guilty before the f-ing trial !
Any speechifying DJT might do (and I suspect he won’t *inside* the court) is dwarfed by the avalanche of BS emanating from the AG and judge and the blatant fabrication of “evidence”.
Talk about bringing the legal system into disrepute.

Here are some of the UKs November debt figures, some aren’t as bad as I thought, others however are a cause for concern.
https://www.uk-debtservice.co.uk/news/uk-debt-november-2023-statistics/
“Within the total, outstanding credit card debt came to £67.6 billion, an increase of 8.7% in the year to September 2023. Credit card debt averaged £2,409 per household and £1,272 per adult.”
I don’t have a credit card, and I suspect many others here either don’t or clear their balances every month, so for every household to have an averaged debt of £2409 I dread to think what the balances some cards must be owing.
I wonder at the state of The Public Sector Loans Board – not enough to check – but councils a beating on it for loads of cash…

Guardian “it has emerged from official reviews that 10 cases taken by the CPS resulted in convictions.
Three occurred while Starmer was DPP.”
(BTW I think prosecutions was the tip of the iceberg. PO got loads of submasters to pay up without prosecutions)
Starmer, who was director of public prosecutions between 2008 and 2013, addressed questions about what he knew about up to 38 prosecutions of post office operators initiated by the CPS.
“No, I wasn’t aware of any of them.
I think there was a small number within a 20-year window, that’s all I know,” he said.

An illegla immigrant who commits suicide get a lengthy, emapthy laden article like this from the BBC. Including:
‘Mr Farruku’s roommate, Yusuf Deen Kargbo, has told BBC News other barge residents might harm themselves if conditions on board did not improve.’
This article demonstrates beyond any doubt just how little the BBC activists care about the white people of Britian. There must be a million more deserving stories they could cover about bad things to DECENT people in our country who kill themselves every day. But the BBC aren’t interested. They despise the white majority as racist Brexiteers and prefer to virtue-signal with article like this which are totally out of real-world perspective.
The BBC are 100% institutionally racist. They have reached a level where they only have staff who are racists. It’s now completely self-propagating from management down.
No wonder they are so scared of only being paid if people want to subscribe to read the utter nonsense they write these days. They would quickly go under and they know it.
Boohoo put ‘Made in UK’ labels on clothes made overseas
https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-67929755
It’s always obvious when the arrogant BBC has a personal vendetta against someone else because the most ridiculous of things suddenly become major headlines. Why on Earthe would this be at the top fo the front news page ?.
This one is clearly hoping to apply a final coup-de-grace and finish them off alltogether.
The BBC smell blood after their earlier ‘investigation’ I remember commenting when their idiot ‘sleuth’ worked for them for 10 weeks and came back with such damning claims like this one:
Fast fashion: Boohoo breaks promises on ethical overhaul
https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-67218916
“Go in low and if you’re not getting anywhere then just say that you can get it cheaper elsewhere. I’m just lying. I just lie,” she says one former colleague told her.
100% the BBC added the explicit bit about lying on the end. Nobody would use a sentence like that.
And I expect THOUSANDS of companies use the same trick to try to get lower prices. BooHoo weren’t doing anything whatsoever illegal as far as I can see. It’s an unfortunate fact that the successful people in EVERY company in a competitive market are ethically-challenged scum. They make it by getting there by trampling on others. And I’m absolutely certain the BBC ‘corridors of power’ are as unpleasant as any of them.
That whole report has amateur idiot written all over it.
I would LOVE to know what her ‘workmates’ thought of her while she was undercover. No doubt they thought she was utterly useless.
The problem here is that the BBC think they are above the law. They think they are the moral arbiters for the whole country. This example highlights exactly why them having that kind of power is wrong. They use it against the ones they don’t like. ‘Panorama’ has become a complete farce.
It’s ridiculous that the public are FORCED to pay them to do it.
Lets see who in the BBC is behind these articles:
I suspect this picture is where they are both lost in a field of long grass because someone else didn’t put signs up telling them to get out. A very typical thing for Lefties who we all know are totally clueless in the real world.
And I bet the owner of Boohoo has a very Indian name.
The Giardian – today – reports on a complaint to BBCOFCOM about GBNews . It seems Nigel Farage did a monologue ‘targeting ‘ St Ed Davey over his failure to manage the post office unlawful prosecution of sub post office managers . The Liberal Democrats didn’t like the comments – it complained it wasn’t offered a right to reply ….
Putting aside the detail – the idea that it is okay for a political party to complain about the output of a TV show over comments about it ? Freedom of speech? Where did that go ?

‘Children’s rights organisation Bris said that its national helpline did not usually receive calls about the possibility of war.’
How pathetic can the BBC get ?.
We long since passed the point where the BBC consider following the agenda narrative is more important than reporting truth. It’s their biggest failing and the reason OFCOM should be strung up.
Hello JohnC
Hope your well, and always good to read your comments on here
You too andy.
Why is virtually every advert have to have a black person in it!
Or nearly all adverts have to have all types of families, or mixed race people living with everyone, or visiting
Whether that is adverts on the internet, tv etc etc
Remember watching some tv from Ireland a few months back, then I realized why the advert seemed funny/wrong – there was ONLY white people in it
What a messed up world this has started to become. Imagine going for a job interview being white/male – unlikely to get the job because of box ticking – even though the candidate could be utter rubbish based on the colour of their skin

all digging tunnels etc
well, some could do with the exercise
That’s why nearly all my clothes come from Cotton Traders! They apply the race percentages correctly!
Great company to deal with, but there again, it was started by two international rugby players, who started when Rugby Union was pretty much all amateur! Tough guys on the field though…
I seem to remember that it was thought that Fran Cotton had a heart attack on the field once, but it was a ‘false alarm’!
A quick credit where credit is due – our BBC comes up trumps for once with a stock photo of an NHS waiting room – with a realistic ethnic balance (at least where Mr AsI lives – maybe it’s because I’m a Londoner): two-thirds diverse to one third white: The key NHS targets that have never been met… for at least seven years across the UK, BBC News research shows.
Gosh, I wonder what’s happened in Britain during the last seven or so years that might have caused that overload of demand on our NHS?
And once again the BBC doesn’t shy away from the diversity in this footage: Watch: Looters overrun streets in Papu New Guinea – well, they didn’t have to rely on Getty Images to illustrate the story – this was documentary reportage or cinéma-vérité, if you will.
“our BBC comes up trumps”
yes, it does quite often, does’t come up biden that often
The total refusal of the BBC to even acknowledge that Biden has mental issues is one of their biggest ever lies by omission and one which confirms just how corrupt the entire BBC/OFCOM/Politician triangle really is. I am simply amazed nobody ever pulls them up for things like this.
What harm can it do they might ask. The Afghanistan bloodbath and the slaughter in Ukraine are two examples which spring to mind. That river of blood is on the hands of everyone who has covered this up.
And all just to keep Trump out.
If I’ve seen / heard this once…
What an excellent response.

Am I surprised?
Her local church
not a surprise here, gender wise, although the curate could do with better make up
we are continually told we are all equal, why is it then that my local vicar decries eyeliner and lipsick before a sermon ?

Some of the cast is enough to put you off it:-
Dipo Ola and

Mitchell and Webb: “Are we the baddies?”
He’s not black, woss goin on geezer

Well, not since Windrush anyway.
Our society deserves to collapse and be rebuilt. Anyone available to destroy it ?.

It’s over for me and Sunak now. He’s not a great deal better than May. Reform it is.
JohnC i was musing about where we could source gilotine ( spelling ) . Theyd be very busy .
Im sure 77 brigade et al ( security ‘ community ) is monitoring the number of times the word ‘ revolution’ turns up … certainly i think there is a strong view that the current system will not fix things because the current system is the problem ..
I know one of the windrush people
now deceased
had a wonderful life here, obviously welcomed by the local cricketing community
worked (wont go into details for obvious reasons)
welcomed, wherever he went a life well spent with no problems
