Price only? Come on, Sherrell, this isn't the 80s anymore. You gotta think about the long-term picture here. Whole life costs are where it's at, and don't forget about availability - can't have the hospital running out of X-rays, that'd be like trying to diagnose a broken bone with a divining rod.

Equity, huh? I mean, sure, it's important to be fair and all, but in this case, I'd say the priority should be on getting the best technology for the job. Whole life costs are key, and you gotta make sure those X-ray machines are gonna be available when the hospital needs 'em.

Equity is important, but functionality should come first in this case.

Ah, the old 'value for money' conundrum. Well, Sherrell, I'd say you better consider the whole life costs - don't want those X-ray machines to break down after a year, you know? And don't forget about availability, can't have the hospital running out of X-rays, that'd be a real pain in the... well, you know.

Availability is key too. Can't have the hospital without X-rays when needed.

This is a tricky one! I know the public sector is all about value for money, but we can't just focus on the price tag. Gotta consider the whole life costs and make sure we get the best bang for our buck.
