MP's 'horror' at getting £4.2bn to digitise NHS with no plan

MP's 'horror' at getting £4.2bn to digitise NHS with no plan A former minister has described his "horror" at being handed £4.2bn to create a "paperless" NHS in England by 2020 without a plan how to do it.

George Freeman's role was digitizing the NHS - but he had not been involved in the 2016 public spending talks.

And he said his civil servants were ordered to set out how they would spend the money only after it was allocated.

This is how things are done in government, said Mr Freeman, and, he suggested, why they go wrong. BBC News
