The UK's NHS management body has again delayed the upgrade of its Oracle finance system, now slated for a revised launch in 2025. Originally intended for 2021, the shift has caused significant concern, with the Infrastructure and Projects Authority deeming the upgrade project unachievable. The new finance system is critical for managing £170 billion in annual health spending but remains on hold as planning and testing continue. Despite challenges, NHS England assures that current services remain operational and plans for the new system are underway.
The current system continues to operate normally despite the postponed replacement, reflecting NHS England's commitment to delivering an operationally ready next-generation finance system.
The Infrastructure and Projects Authority rated the NHS England finance project as 'red,' signaling doubts about its successful delivery and potential need for reassessment.
