Computer Sciences Corporation (CSC) has been told by the UK government that it will not get a revised NHS IT deal from the UK government worth up to £2 billion.

As a result, the US IT services firm has warned investors it will potentially get no deal at all. This may mean CSC will now have to write off £1 billion invested in the National Programme for IT in the NHS to date. CSC has withdrawn its financial outlook for fiscal year 2012.
