Absolutely agree
There is too much hiding behind "commercial in confidence" in government.
It should be mandatory in all but a very few cases that govt contracts
are conducted in the open. Im sure companies would get over their
shyness fairly quickly if the contract is big enough.

Hi Michael,
I would like names of who serves on this- so we can all see if there
is anyone who really knows something about Health IT.
Your assertion about their (the groups) skepticism does not work for
me..and the accusation that I am not trying to make something real
happen I find offensive in the extreme. To date I do not know of a
single clinical outcome that NEHTA was even slightly involved with -
after they have been operational for 2+ years.
Tell me where I am wrong!
I wonder how influential, if at all, your advice is? What difference
have you made? From what I see not much..let us know how the world is
a better place for the fees you have been paid..or are you "commercial
in confidence"?
Failing that..
Maybe you could tell the group what topics are being discussed..what
the general views are and what all this means for both GPs and other
stakeholders.
If you can't - it would be good to tell us the contact who can..or is
that secret as well?
If you are unable to do that, you will convince me, at least, that our
democracy has gone to hell in a hand basket.
The culture of secrecy emerging in our nation is a much more clear and
present danger to our democracy, our way of life and our children's
future than anything Al_Quaida can do.
Cheers
David

I won't. Suffice to say that it is advisory in nature and full of
people who have the
right degree of cynicism about the process, but yet are not bent on
derailing it.
