There was an excellent freedom of information story on The World at One this lunchtime, about the National Audit Office weakening (or should that be 'sexing down') its draft criticisms of the huge NHS IT programme Connecting for Health.
The final version of the NAO report on this scheme, published in June, was much less critical of Connecting for Health than generally anticipated.
Using FOI, The World at One obtained an earlier draft of the NAO report, dated 26 January.
And Private Eye points out that the "blacked out" sections with the really embarrassing stuff can be read by a simple copy and paste of them into another program. I bet BT are really pleased that their £11.6 million penalty has now been made public by Audit Office incompetence.
