NHS joint IT chief resigns after six months in the job
NHS joint IT chief resigns after six months in the job: "Aidan Halligan, the clinician appointed as joint senior responsible owner of the world's biggest civil IT project, has decided to quit after only six months.
He will be the second SRO to leave since the project was launched two years ago. He has also been the most senior figure in the Department of Health to be openly critical of aspects of the �2.3bn national programme for IT in the NHS, while remaining an enthusiastic supporter of its aims and plans.
Halligan, who is returning to his native Ireland to lead the health service there, has acknowledged that not enough had been done to win the support of clinicians. Their buy-in, he said, was critical to the success of the initiative."
