Maybe time to consider more seriously supporting the NHS financially....as everyone know, it's on its knees - in crisis; so many suffering needlessly because of the Government's decisions. Deplorable. Labour would reverse this.
Fingers crossed!

I'd be more-than-prepared to pay more ring-fenced tax, whichever party were brave enough / foolhardy enough to try.
The computer systems are one part of the structure needing more resources but just about everything else is creaking and about to fall apart, staff exhausted, overstretched and underpaid. I hope someone has the guts to make the change.
I'm not too sure that the NHS computer system was abandoned purely because of costs. What seems to happen is that these systems are rarely fully thought out before contracts are assigned. Consequently the contractor is then asked to tweak the system to accommodate unforeseen requirements that crop up once the program is implemented. This makes the software unstable and not very robust as it can't really match the original specification. Throwing money at bad software can't always fix it.
You tend to see this sort of thing in Government departments when so called self appointed experts blunder ahead without consulting with the actual users. The PFI program saw this thing escalate when the contractors made a fortune by charging for late modifications to the original specification.
As for Microsoft. This company licensed out its software to any one who wanted to use its core platform consequently most third party users software is so full of holes that it is relatively easy to get into.
Apple didn't licence its software out so any third party has to comply with apple's core platform making it a far more robust and reliable platform than Microsoft.
Hard to know who is responsible, there's so much finger pointing. The media also constantly blame Russia for various things without a shred of evidence, Putin and his regime is an easy target as he's a sort of pantomime villain type figure. I wouldn't trust any of them on either side to be honest

Well clearly they are opportunists of the situation I outlined in my post # 3 above.
However, now more people know what to do, i.e. what not to click on and ensuring they have sufficient antiviral programmes AND back up on HD. I don't think it reaped the financial reward that they hoped for anyway.
