If it isn’t the Government stacking the odds in favour of their preferred providers then there is also collaboration between large players to ensure that smaller third parties cannot sell into the market. They simply gang up and refuse to supply the equipment or they use their collective muscle to squash any attempt to compete. The UK is a waste of time for newcomers to the market. Although the telehealth / telecare industry comes outside the National program for IT in the NHS you only have to look at the way that program was run to see appalling procurement practices openly being pursued and with the full blessing of the Government.
