Ann: Results of Meeting, page-19

Thanks howard, just to add the things i had forgotten.

Q2 was how is the NHS contract administered. Ie do they buy upfront or is it a buy as they go type contact. Justin didn't know stating they have 4 months to work it out, noting they will supply puretone who will supply the NHS.

What struck me about the NHS contract compared to the Australian subsidy is that the NHS is the prescriber of the solution and therefore are have an incentive to keep costs down rather than margins up. This gives the buds a major advantage as the NHS would prefer them over the alternative (i think justin said 7 options but not sure).

The other aspect that strikes me is it includes children. Children and young adults would certainly prefer buds, especially if you don't have to wear them all the time. Ie, if required for class work only. I know i have mild hearing loss but i wouldn't wear a hearing aid at all times, but put the buds in for conferences.
