What is particularly fun to imagine is a solid-gold meteorite landing on their HQ and striking oil.

This may just at last be turning the corner, imagine if all of a sudden our NHS came to its senses !! I suppose I can dream on !!!

Agree, let us hope we can finally deliver in the years to come.........

Today's announcement looks fantastic.


"public hospital system of the city of Paris and its suburbs. It includes over 40 hospitals"

...sounds large...

"and is linked to the University of Paris."

...and likely to lead to teaching and influencing, leading the way for the rest of France.


"The tender [...] minimum value of over EUR4m over the eight year tender."


"replaces a previous tender originally awarded in 2011 and extended in 2014"

That's what I like to see. A customer coming back for more, not once but twice.


"This is the largest value tender ever awarded anywhere for the Company's products"

Interesting comment by Mr Munger, Berkshire Hathway: 'the US healthcare system is “evil”. A dying American is like a rotting carcass on an African plain, as profiteers circle like hyenas'. I guess the focus is on profits NOT the patient for both insurers and hospitals.

I don't know but the company's recent annual loss is greater than ever.

Some headlines that might be of interest:

1st. Feb 2018 09:15am

ADVFN announces the inaugural "Being wise after the event" poster award.

Head of the judging panel commented:

"This happens so often on our bb's that we thought a proper award was in order. The inaugural prize winner was an easy unanimous decision, based on multiple posts on various discussion boards."

"The winner is: buywell3 and we have also included buywell: 1-99 just in case"

What sort of ''Risk Management'' does the USA Hospital undertake that has awarded the recent ODM contract ?

Also what other types of Equipment were tested ?


I know the tests were over 12 months ago but does this USA Hospital realize that DEMG are now on life support themselves ?

[gnnmartin] 31/1/2018 10:54

Interesting news in the FT today: Berkshire Hathaway, Amazon, and JPMorgan intend to join forces in a not-for-profit venture to provide more affordable healthcare. Good news, but I wonder if and how this might affect DEMG. The focus on cost ought to help DEMG, but industry churn might lengthen decision making processes.

[arf dysg] 28/1/2018 17:23

All's buywell that bellends well.

I think you'll find it's called "chucking good money after bad".

Anyone holding these would indeed be looking for some light at the end of the tunnel, the problem is, the tunnel entrance still hasn't been found, it's the king's magic suit all over again, unless of course you like to lie awake at night and ponder your illogical investment decisions!

Part of the problem for the NHS is that ODM may actually increase their costs. If the NHS manages more operations per week, then their costs will rise: more surgeon hours, more material costs, etc. ODM only helps reduce NHS spend if the reduction in hospital bed time per patient means a reduced need for hospital beds rather than an increased ability to meet demand.


--> I thought the NHS gets paid an amount per type of procedure, so the more you do of x procedure the more your trust gets paid.

buywell (9220): "July 2019 before more [cash] will be needed"


Yes, but the other thing which will happen in 2019 is that replicants will be working for us in mines on other planets and will be among us here on Earth doing some of the heavy lifting.

I hope I'm not giving you ideas... I mean, your name does rhyme with "Tyrell" so don't go getting any ideas about robot empires and all that...

[buywell3] 25/1/2018 16:23

The loan notes were at 8% to the holders , circa £100k per year

Extended for another 2 years , so around £400k cash to be found

With the little cash DEMG has plus the new cash raised

I make that around 1.5 years or till July 2019 before more will be needed

"On the subject of complications resulting in readmission, I dread to think what the cost of those are, as those patients go through a whole set of duplicated processes to go around again."

Yes, the administrative and organisational headaches would be yet another nightmare.

[yump] 25/1/2018 09:59

Yes unfortunately my DEMG shares have suffered and I suspect when I get old and doddery, I will as well !

[doglover2003] 25/1/2018 09:56

===> yump 9216

Does not NHS conduct in this respect suggest a company in terminal decline which ignores investment needs for the future and employs its cash in meeting only day-to-day needs.
If this analogy does not appear to fit............................................... think about palliative care!

Brings it home how screwed up the management of the NHS is imo.

Can you imagine a manufacturing plant where a new bit of more efficient machinery is installed, which allowed the process to speed up, but they kept running at the same output anyway.

Surely if you move people more quickly through the process, the process doesn't necessarily cost more.

Obviously there is still the issue of where some patients go after discharge, but then there are other patients who would just go home normally.

Isn't the question really to do with whether the NHS could process more patients for the same cost, if length of stay is reduced. I don't think consultants and nurses are like agency staff on zero hours contracts, where they're just paid for the hours they put in. Surely the main labour costs are fixed and the variable costs are in the cost of more swabs etc.

On the subject of complications resulting in readmission, I dread to think what the cost of those are, as those patients go through a whole set of duplicated processes to go around again.

In any case, it seems to me some of the decisions should be made in principle because they are right for patients.
