Re: Coronavirus

Fax machines.

A single example, but an indicator of wider cultural resistance to new and more efficient ways of working. As recently as 5 years ago the NHS was reckoned to be the single biggest purchaser of fax machines in the entire world. It took a government directive in 2019 to forcibly stop the purchase of new (!) fax machines in England and several hundred are still in operation.

The delightfully unreformed Welsh version of the Labour Party is still allowing their purchase and use in NHS Wales.
