The massive NHS IT programme is even further behind schedule, and it's proving costly for BT:
"NHS IT director general Richard Granger claims some setbacks are to be expected... [and] admits that problems with the 'data spine' at the heart of the programme have resulted in further fines for BT," reports Computing magazine.
"BT was fined £300,000 - 30 per cent of its expected fee - in July for not meeting a target of 99.8% availability for the data spine that will act as a gateway to national systems such as ebookings and electronic patient records."
