IP: Microsoft and the UK Natl Health Service

[David Farber <dave@farber.net>]

Microsoft looks likely to be involved in developing electronic health 
records for Britain's NHS.
The records, which are the centrepiece of the government's strategy to 
upgrade the use of computers in the health service, will pass details about 
patient histories between GPs and hospitals.
Ministers intend that every NHS patient should have one by 2005, and is 
investing millions to make it happen.
