Health IT advertises for TWO new bosses

The Department of Health has invited applications for a chief information officer (CIO) for health as well as a director of IT programme and system delivery, with salaries of c£200,000. The late departed previous head - Richard Granger - earned c£285,000 a year .

As the Times says "Combined, the two jobs are equivalent to Mr Granger’s former position, on increased wages, which critics at the time labelled an “abuse of taxpayers’ money”.

Perhaps Granger should re-apply?
