am not surprised - as i am the architect behind the project and my contract has just been terminated - so expect even longer delays

After working in the public sector as a clerical officer and having sat on a board for the introduction of the electronic social care record project, I came to the conclusion that the core users of the proposed systems just did not have I. T. skills to use what was on offer. I voiced this on the board and was told that I would only need to sit on the board as and when required. Needless to say I did not get asked to sit on another board meeting.

It is not the I T systems on offer so much as the poor training of the users that is the problem. In short the I T literacy was too low for a too ambitious a program of changes.

Could this be the same system that the Government denied had a problem just a couple of weeks ago? Or the same one that a leaked comment from an employee at one of the companies supposedly developing the system, said , would not succeed, (sometime before Christmas I think). How many clues have this stupid lot had to be given? And how many more million have they wasted because of it? If this Government told the truth, much like the pensions heist and the sell off of the country's gold, they would admit that they ignored good advice in the first place.
