See my post above, tired&retired. Sometimes, especially with older systems, they must be replaced.
Some systems are very good, but they cannot be protected from malware or other electronic attack, they cannot be re-written to take into account concepts of healthcare that weren’t even around when the program was originally written, and so on.
Sometimes it cannot be done, and you have to make the change before you find out you are in hot water up to your neck and HAVE to make an emergency switch to a new system.
And THAT is NEVER good for anyone, patients, staff, IT, the taxpayers. EVERYONE is hurt there.

The old system was is a very secure system. It’s much better than the other government offices like the GO.
