The useless, expenses-fiddling MPs on the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) have finally realised that the �7bn NHS IT system is a disaster and will never work. In my 2006 book Plundering the Public Sector, I explained that the NHS IT system could never work, why it could never work and why it should be abandonned. Now 6 years and about �4bn wasted later, the PAC have understood what I wrote about. In 2006, I was in contact with MP Richard Bacon about the utter useleness of the NHS IT system and I even had a meeting with the head of the National Audit Office, Sir John Bourne.
Of course, these leading lights of our ruling elite ingored my warnings about the NHS IT system and at least �4bn has been squandered. Perhaps our MPs and Sir John were too busy living the high life on their taxpayer-funded expenses to make any effort to stop the NHS IT disaster.
