A bit hesitant to reply on the HL7 v3 abuse site, just a question.
There is a report (late reaction, sorry I was unaware of this side until now), from NHS delays of iSoft.
Can professor Smith provide us with insight how this iSoft thing in the real world relates to the HL7 v3 message standard for information about things?
For the time being anonymous.
