They cant even build a database never mind run effective IT systems.

delicious green leaches will attach to another public service leach leach leach.

"We were just made to spend all this money on new kit..."

"Well now you must replace all your old power hungry kit with new energy efficent kit provided by us, the green leaches."

"great... who needs nurses, doctors or cleaning staff anyway..."

A series of press releases from the NHS.

1. In order to avoid unnecessary travel by patients and Consultants, all consultations will be by video conference to your local GP surgery. "So instead of driving to the most inconvenient local hospital and hanging around for hours waiting for Sir to finish his golf game, you can do it in the comfort of your GP's waiting room".

2. Due to the complexities in organising multiple Consultant appointments on the new video conferencing system, a patient dissatisfaction in the new system we have enhanced our systems to enable you to receive the consultation straight to your home, requiring only the simplest of home use PCs you can video conference direct to your consultant.

"Requires Window 2010, 8gb Memory, 8Ghz Intel Core 4 Duo and a 1Gb Ethernet connection, patients are reminded that missing an appointment costs time and money, and the NHS reserves the right to charge for missed appointments."

"System requires that patients wait around all day for a 2 minute video conference that always occurs the moment you need to pop off to the loo"

But seriously, a member of my family has recently needed to go into hospital a couple of time, and is also awaiting orthopaedic surgery. They were admitted to Stevenage, the Welwyn Garden City, and offered surgery in Banbury, rather than St.Albans where they actually live. So, for an extended stay, just think how carbon is extended by people travelling out by car to hospitals in other towns, rather than hopping on a local bus.

Mmmmm delicious green leach discovered.
