From Homecare Monday
So – surprise surprise – in the latest round of proposals there is one that orders an investigation possibly that manufacturers of homecare products are going to be asked to bid.
Of course we have been saying for some time that the traditional supply lines between manufacturers and dealers / distributors / buying organizations are blurring, not only as a result of this competitive pressure but the bar has been lowered because of the ease of Asian sourcing for manufacturers and distributors alike.
This is happening in several countries in Europe as well – come to think of it the British NHS – the biggest supplier of wheelchairs in the UK, has been doing it for years.
