A once and for all 'not broke so don't need fixing' this will enable confidence in software futureproofing issues. The products on the market are to varied and non-compatible therefore reduces effective record inforamtion sharing. The other view is what are the likely costs with regard to impacts of a new code to be successfully implemented. For example 'what are the next generation of services' and what are their vehicles of delivery'.
