Post Office scandal: Horizon still causing shortfalls

Published On Sep 23, 2024, 5:02 AM

A recent survey shows that nearly 70% of sub-postmasters using the Horizon IT system have reported unexplained discrepancies, indicating ongoing issues with the system despite attempts at updates. This follows the scandal where over 900 sub-postmasters were wrongfully prosecuted based on faulty software between 1999 and 2015. The inquiry into the Post Office's handling of the situation continues, with many sub-postmasters expressing dissatisfaction with both the IT system and the compensation they are receiving for their losses.
