A complaint I am getting is some hospitals have outdated systems and they are not getting the funding to update them. I was talking to a junior doctor recently. He told me he is an SHO and spends 50% of his day chasing scans and X-rays that have been taken and trying to get them on to the file. Fifty per cent of his time is taken up doing that.
