problems reported at morecambe bay, page-6

Some comment's from EHI readers


Almost as bad as Millennium then?

Sounds like a similar situation to London and the South, but not as bad from the sounds of it to me (read the previous EHI articles to compare for yourself).

So we have a report on NPfIT in a few weeks don't we? It would be spectacularly good timing for this to come out and then the announcement of the end of the programmes, wouldn't it? I'm led to believe that the whole future of the Lorenzo programme rested on the success of the Morecambe Bay implementations.

It seems to be the M.O. of the current administration to whip up public opinion using whatever truths or otherwise are to hand before getting stuck into cuts and this is fits the bill very well.

Where can I place a bet that NPfIT is canned before the year is out? I might even have a flutter on it being within the next month!

I would not support these two mad initiatives in any way, but with tongue firmly in cheek I ask were the processes prescribed in DSCN 14/2009 and DSCN 18/2009 employed at any point?

.....why don't you ask all the good people slogging their guts out to make this work? See what sort of an answer you get!

I don't have experience of large scale projects like this, but couldn't these problems have been predicted? Isn't there some sort of "sandpit" testing done prior to rollout which would have shown up these data issues, or at least hinted at them?

Or is it that the whole thing was rushed through to meet a deadline, sort of get it installed, tick the box, then sort out the mass of problems later?

Genuinely asking.
