New Zealand's opposition National Party has claimed the National Oracle Solution (NOS) project being managed by NZ Health Partnerships on behalf of the district health boards has “gone off the rails” and is blaming the new health minister for lack of oversight, despite the fact the project was initiated and rolled out under National's watch.
The NOS, a common suite of integrated applications for DHB financial management, supply chain management and business intelligence based on Oracle's ERP software, needs further funding to be completed and is currently being reviewed by Deloitte on behalf of the Ministry of Health.
