You couldn't make this up

Extract from a report by a Strategic Health Authority into progress made in implementing "Choose and Book". Ready?

"The key concern is that the added resources funding implementation teams expire this March, while local communities need to move from 2% electronic booking to the December target of 90%. Communities are at various stages of identifying funds to continue implementation, but credible plans for managing the trajectory have not yet been submitted."

For those of you who aren't quite into "healthspeak" I add this translation:

"We've almost run out of the extra money we were given to do the work although we still have a great deal of the project to do. We're looking for more funding to enable us to plan and complete the project but haven't found any as yet."

I think I will go and sit in the corner for a while ...
