Accenture to quit NHS technology overhaul
Guardian said:
Accenture, the biggest and most successful regional contractor working on the NHS's troubled £6.2bn IT overhaul, is poised to pull out of the project. This will be a body blow for the NHS as Accenture has been responsible for deploying more than 80% of the systems installed so far by the four lead contractors under the National Programme for IT.
An exit deal has been agreed with health executives. A joint statement from Accenture and the NHS could be issued as early as tonight, when the consultancy firm is due to report full-year earnings figures in the US.
