The organisation handling the roll-out of NZ's National Infrastructure Platform (NIP) on behalf of the 20 district health boards has refused to respond to questions about the status of the program, which was put on red-amber alert by the NZ Treasury in its major projects performance report in July.

The launch of the platform, being built by IBM and touted to save $23.9 million over 10 years, has been delayed twice due to adverse technical assessments. The project was given an amber/red alert by the Ministry of Health in the Treasury's most recent major projects performance report, citing “non-performance of the vendor.”
