I want to know the following. How much of the money is spent on transporting patients? How much of the money is used to transport files?

A taxi service is used. My questions are based on certain information in my possession. Let us say a hospital wishes to transfer nine files. In that case, the hospital must ring nine different taxi services.

Is there no scope within the system for having a contract with a local taxi service so they might get discounts?
