WITH only six months to go before the end of the Millennium, Wirral Health Authority has made a New Year pledge to all residents.
The health authority started its own preparations to prevent any technical problems associated with the 'Millennium Bug' date change a long time ago to ensure a trouble-free entry into the next century.
Said Wirral Health Authority IT Manager Bill Douglas: "Contingency plans to protect patients, staff, equipment and services from any failure in power supply or mechanical failure are well advanced.
"Much has already been achieved and we are confident that any remaining issues will be resolved on schedule, so it will be 'business as usual' on January 1, 2000."
