It is time that the cost of all government IT failures is totted up and those responsible for the dreadful waste severely censured (FiReControl slammed as one of the biggest IT failures in years).
The FiReControl fiasco is just the tip of the iceberg: dare one mention police radio, ambulance control, NPfIT? And not once, as far as I know, has the government ever got a penny back from the suppliers and consultancies that failed to deliver these solutions.
There are, of course, other guilty parties: the incompetent Whitehall project managers. These people should be dismissed without golden handshakes and certainly not redeployed to other government posts.
