House of Commons Debate (15 Nov 2005)
"It is also worth mentioning the NHS IT project, a huge investment amounting to more than £6.2 billion over 10 years. Unfortunately, the process seems to be dragging on somewhat, so far with little apparent benefit for patients. For example, the choose and book system for hospital appointments was due this December, but will be at least a year late. Predictably, Richard Granger, the man in charge of the scheme, has said that that is not his fault and claims that responsibility for the late delivery lies with the policy people at the Department of Health."
