Joe Public wants NHS to spend its cash on cancer, mental health, not digital services

> access to digital services is the lowest priority for spending

Not surprising since almost all NHS computer systems are so badly designed and implemented that they end up making people's work environment, stress and efficiency worse.

Rather than allowing IT people to design stuff for the NHS - a group of people they generally know almost nothing about, I feel they should let the medical staff tell them what is needed. In most cases they would point to a non-computerised thing and say "make it do exactly what that does".

FAX machines spring to mind!
