It's far from all over 9.52! Reality will come to bear...

Despite what the law may say, if most of the rest of Europe doesn't regularly and repeatedly tender their healthcare services (and they don't) then there is a way through this.

And the more that commercial procurement process are applied, the higher (much higher!) the transaction and "management costs" will be, and letting those rise will become politically unsupportable.

That's not to say that commercial procurement doesn't have a place, it does in difficult and selected cases, but not everywhere all the time!
