Do you have an issue with supply of the food or your issue is with NHS letting other companies rob itself. I would agree if your issue is with the latter.

The two pizza bases originally cost £8.95. But by the time manufacturing, handling and delivery fees were added on; the bill for the NHS had been driven up to nearly £34.00.

"We saw there were occasions where there was a bread loaf costing £2.50 and there was a handling fee of £32.00," he says.

Government departments get robbed left right and centre all the time and it's nothing new. No offence to any trades here, but is it not true that quotes for work on council houses seem to double or triple as compared to private residential customer. Everyone is having a piece of the cake, so what's so bad about pharmacies etc having a slice of the chunk.

It’s the working class who is getting s***ed by taxes to provide all this money for everyone in the loop to have a field day. So why do you think the government will give a toss about the money they waste?

It's the NHS, they don't really give a **** how much it costs, it's not their money. Most private companies or individuals would tell em to get stuffed, the government just reaches for the tax payer chequebook.

IT MUST be cheaper than the Direct Labour Organisations that it replaced - guess who did away with the DLO`s

Surely at the original cost of £8.95p for two, the pizza bases had already been manufactured?
Would you go to Asda to buy an item priced at £2.00, only to get to the till and be told "Ahh. That'll be £10, because there's the manufacturing costs, we didn't tell you about ?

As Joe rightly points out , sufferers of other conditions have to do their own shopping.
My brother's daughter, is gluten intolerant, and she does her own shopping. She certainly doesn't get a prescription from the doctor for pizzas or bread.

Point is, no body gives a shyte if it is someone else’s money.

I quoted from the link. Probably a typo by the reporter.
