Our Comments
The NPfIT has been nothing short of a shambles. One of the world's most expensive civilian projects ever was supposed to bring some order to the fourth biggest organisation in the world with a budget for 2009 of £94 billion. As for the programme itself, the total cost is likely to be significantly more than the £12.7 billion originally earmarked.
