Campaign: Common sense on IT

From Dr Ian Gilani by email

There is no computer system that is secure. Patients should always have the right to decide what information is shared and what is not. And the designers or those who approved the expenditure should be held accountable for any waste.

As for Choose and Book, the current system does not work and offers no real choice. There is no trail of accountability for a referral after it has been sent by the GP. The system should be scrapped or used in a form where that trail of responsibility is restored.

* From Dr Brian Mansfield by email

I'm very sceptical about this enormous waste of money, which has far more to do with politics than the delivery of healthcare.

Here is yet another Government IT project which will overrun its budget and fail to deliver any benefit.
