Problem is IT is seen as a 'back office function', and what little money going the politicians and public have demanded to go to the front line (nurses/drs/medicines). The frontline isn't any good with out the services to support it . It all comes back to money, which ever way it tries to be spun. Blaming poor management won't wash, if that was wholly the reason, why can't the NHS attract/afford decent managers ?
