More problems have been reported with the much criticised NHS computer system.
It has been alleged that hundreds of inaccurate patient records have been created every day because of a persistent glitch on the new NHS computer system. The problem has affected Trusts in Manchester and became apparent after the software was upgraded.
NHS Connecting
for Health, which is overseeing the IT upgrade, said
that the fault would not have any impact on
patient care and that
the seriousness of the issue was being overstated by many critics.
The nationwide programme has been hit by problems and has been
criticised by MPs, who warned it could cost £12.4bn. The benefits of
the upgrade are enormous but so far the project has had nothing but
negative press.
