Recommendation 21
21
UKHSA inherited new accounting system decision, regretting not running existing systems simultaneously.
Conclusion
We asked UKHSA whether it would have been better to use one of the systems used by its predecessor entities rather than implementing the new system on the day it became operational. UKHSA said that it had inherited the decision to implement the new system from Public Health England and acknowledged that, in hindsight, it may have been preferable to run existing systems side by side.40
