ID card database plans expand
Talkback Privacy issues apart, I hope this doesn't turn into another one of those bottomless pits for public money. This is, after all, little more than a user directory (albeit a large one) and there are a number of well established, commercially available...

ID card leader appointed

ID card leader appointed
Talkback The NHS IT project is obviously the ideal experience. Already got experience of major failure and spin. Luckily I am out of it for 9 years at least as I renewed my passport and by then I probably wont be able to afford the luxury of holidays.
