Leaving aside the politics is anyone surprised that roll-out has been slower when organised (to a material extent) by a multinational organisation whose normal modus operandi is to build consensus amongst its members even if this takes time (I've experienced it at first hand). Contrast this with the UK which has a very centralised governance model and a centralised single payer health system. Not being critical of or praising either model or behaviour in either case. Just not surprising that this happens when the challenge is to deliver on a clear objective as rapidly as possible. (And still disappointing that EU citizens have to deal with the results of this).
