Labour MP Sadiq Khan lays into an IT consultant who had publically criticised the NHS Supercomputer programme. (The clip is Parliamentary copyright but reproduced here for the purposes of news reporting).
This is not about software or schedule. For Labour party, this is all about saving their face, when someone (somebody who they indirectly employed as a contractor) spoke out in pulic with a slight tone of critisism about the general way the NHS IT program (NPFIT) is run. In this age where political wins/drams takes priority, honesty is always weighed less.
Could someone explain this one to me. I thought the Lorenzo software was 2 years behind schedule and that isoft were having financial problems. Accenture have pulled out of NPFit altogether for whatever reasons. Granger says he is 'ashamed' of some systems provided, what is the MP trying to get at with that witness ?
It should be the Labour MP under scrutiny not the other way round! These people are bloody tyrants and obviously not held accountable to the taxpaying public.
poor line of questioning
