Yes, there is much belly-aching on this list about anonymous NEHTA staffers and advisers making decisions and setting policy and directions without enough consultation with stakeholders, but people forget that before NEHTA we had over a decade of anonymous health IT bureaucrats and consultants failing to make decisions and not setting policy or establishing clear directions, also mostly without consultation, but sometimes after quite extensive and expensive consultation.
