Subject: Re: GP Messaging
All the clinical messaging work is now part of the National Programme
for IT. Effectively requests and reports for Laboratory Medicine will
be managed as part of the Integrated Care Records Service.

(I'm on part-time secondment to the Design Authority of the National
Programme. )
You need to understand the new approach to procurement and the role of
Local Service Providers.
The Design Authority's view is that all future clinical message
definitions will be in HL7 v3, and therefore in XML. I strongly suggest
anyone interested joins HL7-UK.
