The NHS is notorious for having little to no connected IT systems. It's not that the data doesn't exist but it's so siloed that even within Health Boards it is hard to access.
- tonyedgecombe 7y agoI think this is probably a good thing. We have already seen one massive attempt at centralising their IT systems fail at huge cost.
