Parliamentary spending watchdog the Public Accounts Committee has branded the implementation of the National Offender Management Information System (C-Nomis) a failure.
Chair of the PAC, Edward Leigh, said of the programme that was designed to implement a single database between the Prison Service and the National Probation Service: "Even we were surprised by the extent of the failure of C-Nomis", adding: "there was not even a minimum level of competence in the planning and execution of this project".

The criticism comes following the start of the rollout of a revamped version of the C-Nomis system, after the initial project was stopped in August 2007 due to trebling costs.
