Um, interesting. Some points raised differ from what the reality.

Trusts are being pushed into CRS with no reguard to existing functionality or cost of moving to the new system.

Choose and Book is a complete failure, with all rollouts being stopped in our area, and existing users being told that they can stop using the system if they want to.

The N3 rollout success depends on what you mean by connected. BT have a different meaning of that phrase than most.

PACS is in, and working with a few glitches. The project was painfull however.

Setting users up on the Spine is a slow and painfull business, with a lot of resistance from users.

The Contact email system is slow and clumbersom, and not very user friendly.

You have missed of a few major national projects, such as the Electronic Staff Record, Shares Business Service and Integrated Comunity Equipment Services, all heading for their own show stopping problems if we're not carefull.

Overall, a nightmare for NHS IT Staff.
