Servers go down all the time. If the NHS want something where a server doesn't go down occasionally, they're better off sticking to pens and paper.

Local Goverment IT departments are not much better either. When I worked at County Hall, we had our computers upgraded, now the section I worked in all used the same software, the first computer they upgraded was missing all the software we needed. We tell them this so they can make sure they do it right on the rest of the machines. One by One 11 machines went off to be upgraded, each one came back without the software vital to the job we did.

I asked my boss today if there would ever come a time when we could change our errors. She said "no, as they have more important issues atm"

I disagree. We have a service level agreement with the chemists to be accurate, and not allowing us to change mistakes means we may not met our contractual agreement. Also mistakes means the chemist may get charged more (or less) for drugs, hitting the NHS budget. So no idea what can be more important than that
