One of the main reasons NHS software doesn't work is because all the
people involved in "designing" the software have little or no idea of
what is actually required.
If they took the simple expedient of talking to the people that used it
on daily basis, they'd find out. Of course, that's *far* too sensible.
The same applies to software used by the CPS and ONS. Coincidentally,
or not depending on your PoV, both are also government agencies.
