早在2004年，英国政府就宣布授予8个巨大的IT合同，总价值超过60亿英镑。被选中的公司将为欧洲最大的公共部门组织英国国民健康服务（NHS）引入新的IT系统和流程。合同有效期为7年，至2010年12月。今年6月底，合同将正好完成一半。但是，国家信息技术计划（NPfIT）的情况并不好，该计划和为提供该计划而设立的NHS连接健康机构（NHS CfH）自成立以来一直受到许多来源的大量批评。这种批评是有道理的，还是有些批评者只是赶时髦？本文试图提供一个公正的（如果这样的事情是可能的）评论该方案到目前为止。
Early in 2004, the British Government announced the award of eight enormous IT contracts with a combined value of more than 6 pound billion. The companies selected would introduce new IT systems and processes to Europe's largest public sector organisation, the National Health Service ( NHS) in England. The contracts were due to run for 7 years, until December 2010. At the end of June this year, the contracts will be exactly halfway through. But all is not well with the National Programme for IT ( NPfIT), and both the programme and the agency NHS Connecting for Health ( NHS CfH) set up to deliver the programme, have received considerable, and sustained criticism from many sources since their inception. Is this criticism justified or are some critics simply jumping onto a bandwagon? This paper attempts to provide an unbiased ( if such a thing is possible) commentary on the programme so far.
