- noir_lord 11y agoUK's Connecting for Health System > Originally expected to cost £2.3 billion (bn) over three years, in June 2006 the total cost was estimated by the National Audit Office to be £12.4bn over 10 years Which is roughly 27bn Australian Dollars, when it comes to this stuff our Government is in a class of it's own.
- pbhjpbhj 11y agoIIRC the system was then abandoned as unworkable?
- noir_lord 11y agoMost of it was, some bits where salvaged (I think, I followed it at the time) at huge cost and then they built a newer version which sorta works. In any base £20bn over 10 years seems like quite a lot on an initial budget of 2.4bn over 3.
- delecti 11y agoWow, even including the cost of outfitting all the readers, that metro card system has got to be at least two orders of magnitude higher than reasonable.
