John, I have some questions for you, if you don't mind:
Whose interests do you represent at these meetings - is it IIE members/the steering group/your own department/ those of the NHS engineering community at large? What are these views and ideas that you intend to present in your meetings? Are you certain that your views and ideas will be representative and in the interests of the majority of the group that you wish to represent? Is cooperation and involvement with other bodies (such as IPEM, IEE, IMECH, IHEEM) envisaged?
It's just that this steering group business seems to have sprung out of nowhere and there's not much transparency at the moment. I'm wondering what work has been done in the background and by whom.
