Training courses, seminars and conferencesInspirational or a waste of precious slacking-off time? I once went on a buzzword bingo-laden training course which ended up with my being held at gunpoint in public. Could have gone better, to be honest. Tell us your tales from either side of the lectern

Stuff and nonsense really Politicians have a knack of twisting the truth for their own ends, much like the press.

Some more from the NAOToday's NAO report concludes that the £2.7 billion spent so far on care records systems does not represent value for money. And, based on performance so far, the NAO has no grounds for confidence that the remaining planned spending of £4.3 billion on care records systems will be any different.
The original aim of the Programme was for every patient to have an electronic care record by 2010. The systems the Department contracted its suppliers, BT and CSC, to deliver are now not all expected to be in place until 2015-16. Even so, based on performance so far, it is unlikely that the remaining work in the North, Midlands and East, where just four of 97 systems have been delivered to acute hospital trusts in seven years, can be completed by 2016 when the contract with CSC expires.
So. Vastly over budget, years behind schedule, doesn't do what it was supposed to - what definition of "successful" are you using?

Pretty much.I once had the misfortune to work with the company (iSoft) that did the actual work CSCs PAS.
Never again.
