Swann defends $17m invoices

Former district health board chief information officer Michael Swann has spent the day explaining to the High Court the rationale behind invoices charging the board almost $17 million for services the Crown says were never provided.

Swann and his friend Kerry Harford deny they misappropriated the money between 2000 and 2006, their argument being they were providing a legitimate risk mitigation insurance service for the hospital's main servers.
