J.P. Little
"Our collaboration with Connecting for Health has been rewarding both in the obvious ways - by allowing us to share ideas with colleagues from other parts of the health sector - but also as we've seen our approach to identity management, data caching, and distributed information replicated in the Common Framework's technical design. We've been something of a test case for the Common Framework and also fortunate to see that the approach allows the regional networks using it to easily connect with us."
