As today is a public
holiday perhaps it is time for something fun and cheery. But then, my jokes are either obscure or not
very funny. So we will stick to the
usual.
During the next few months
the National Health Service is going to be one of the major political battle
grounds of the election campaign.
The provision, who it is
for, how it is organised, who are intended to benefit and its role in the
economy provide plenty of opportunity and our politics are nothing if not
opportunist.
There is one
small issue that is likely to be ignored.
This is because it is embarrassing and software matters are already an
expensive shambles in health provision.
The other is that the politicians and almost all the management are
deeply ignorant of it and the implications.
Also, the media does not
understand it and it does not make for easy news retailing, short clips and
quick answers. It is not something that
is wanted high up or even on the agenda.
It is security and
software and those of us who tap away do know that they are connected.
Read the link and worry,
it might be you that the kit is wired up to.
There are also problems with too much security.
