I don't recall ever getting much of a discount for lack of volume...
There must be loads of basics which could be easily sourced centrally but then there'll be other things which might be better sourced locally. Given the state of the NHS now tough, trying to make sense of it all and undertake a major reorganisation would be fraught with problems.

Between the Porter who was texting at every possibility and the Secretary who was doing the same i think the NHS loses a lot of working hours to this.
Oh and also one of the ambulance staff having an argument with his wife on his phone in front of 6 of us patients in the back with him.

Cost and I'd imagine a great deal of distraction from more important issues.
