There is nothing to suggest the roles are fake. As above, I did speak to an NHS chap so 'something' was available.
This might only be indicative of a less than responsive client who does not recognise, nor respect, the gratis offers and services of many.Comment

Problem is public sector IT provision is a closed shop, seemingly even if you are offering your services for free. So far as I can see you still can't get SC clearance and the Tracking App was so obviously better suited to be developed by private sector companies with some experience of the technology as opposed to the next off the cab rank software provider they seem to rotate for major projects.Comment

Originally posted by Old Greg View PostI never needed SC clearance for an NHS contract - maybe there are some NHS branded national public bodies that require it. There's lots of IT work (in normal times), but not so much software development if that's your thing (although it does exist in places).
From the outside looking in they seem happier putting barriers up to anyone getting involved than considering bringing fresh thinking in (although in fairness some areas of banking and finance are the same).Comment
