Shareholders of healthcare software specialist
iSoft yesterday approved the sale of the
company to Australian firm IBA Health.
A succesful court hearing on 29th October will allow iSoft shares to be
de-listed and the sale completed the next day.
The deal is as good as done, said Gary Cohen, executive chairman of IBA
Health in a statement.
"It's been a long journey. You would have to say we are in the final 100
meters dash to the finishing line, and there's no-one else at the starting gate,
" he said.
Cohen said iSoft will remain committed to delivering the Lorenzo product - a
key part of the £12bn National
Programme for NHS IT (NPfIT) – by 2008.
The sale was originally blocked by CSC,
which oversees 60 per cent of the NPfIT, because of concerns about delivery of
Lorenzo.
