Why does the NHS have a mismatch of IT systems that don't fit together then? Why are they still running Windows XP?

I've been at three F500 companies, ones you've heard of and probably own products from, and most had Server 2003 and aging HP-UX (or AIX, or Solaris) boxes in the mix.

That the NHS has a few old systems doesn't mean jack shit.

Like, there are still mainframes in use in many places, and more than you'd think.
