It seems the HSE is not the only statutory health body that messes up where IT is concerned.
I've often wondered is it because the NHS/HSEs of this world are "only" spending tax-payers' money that these enormous projects fail or fail to deliver?
I guess the only difference between the two organisations and their IT failures is the magnitude of the waste.
The key failures here are common to almost all failed IT projects - the key-user, the GP, hasn't got time to fit the new work into his existing work-flow and the system wasn't designed as user-friendly for IT novices.
