Hi all,

Without getting the full picture it does appear that this is the worst system breakdown so far.
The emergency paper/follow up system unnecessarily time consuming and not well thought out. The main problem for us over the past 3 days is the hit & miss state of the system. We've done some tests as normal.Some where we've printed a check list and can't input the results. Still more where we can't connect at all. No possibility of speaking live to an actual human to get any information.
It does appear that UK Gov. depts,agencies & their contractors lack competence wherever computers are involved.
Heaven help us if the ID card scheme goes ahead.
