The DH target for a paperless NHS by 2018 is unlikely to be met, according to MPs reporting on the disastrous legacy of the failed ?10bn health service IT programme.
The NHS IT programme has been labelled 'one of the worst and most expensive contracting fiascos in the history of the public sector' by MPs on the House of Commons public accounts committee.
In a report published on Tuesday, The dismantled National Programme for IT in the NHS, MPs said the IT plan had cost around ?10bn to date and delivered estimated benefits worth a fraction of this amount.
