Sydney, June 7, 2010 (ABN Newswire) - iSOFT Group Limited (ASX:ISF) issued a market update on 2 June 2010 partly referring to a deferral of decisions in relation to the National Programme for IT (NPfIT) for our partner CSC (NYSE:CSC) being due to an uncertain political climate in the UK and ensuing election.
In addition, further comments regarding government change were given as a reason for delays in NPfIT procurements in the South of England. Both these statements were iSOFT's opinion and cannot be taken as fact.
iSOFT remains fully committed to delivering the NPfIT with its partner, CSC, and building on recent success and apologises for any unintended criticism of either the NHS or CSC.
