How come this wasn't made a bigger deal?...

Robbing, corrupt, useless basts.

'The ambitious scheme, designed to create electronic patient records for use across the NHS in England, was shelved two years ago but the amount of money wasted is increasing as there are still outstanding costs and some elements of the project have continued in different parts of the country.
The Government put the bill for the failed National Programme at £6.4 billion when it announced it was being dismantled and officials later estimated the total would reach £9.8 billion.
But the Commons Public Accounts Committee (PAC) said the full costs of the scheme are still not certain as the latest forecast does not include the bill for terminating Fujitsu's contract for care records systems in the south of England or other future costs.
Taxpayers are continuing to pay the price for the failures of the Department of Health and its contractors, MPs said.
They highlighted the Government's decision to renegotiate its original contracts, worth £3.1 billion, with company CSC for care records systems across 220 trusts in the North, Midlands and East, following delays and problems.'
