"A £6bn lack of funding is not a mistake. This is not somebody who forgot to sign an expense. This is willful negligence and someone should pay.

More likely an entire committee. The last five years of top-level decision-makers are all collectively responsible for this complete and utter failure of management."

You are forgetting this is NHS/government area.... so the decision to cut back and not invest in IT resources was made by the committee not by a single named person

However since all the committee members who made the decision have moved onto other positions within the NHS, then it would be unfair to penalise the current members of the committee for the previous decisions of the committee.

Or to penalise former members of the committee since they are hard at work in other committees making the decisions about the running of the NHS

The top level management have nothing to do with the staffing of the committees as this is decided by the members of the committees working with human resources to identify the best staff to work on said committees and also the top level management of the NHS merely implement the committees decisions.

Apologies to Sir Humprey
