Dan considers nearby-site journeys useful where buildings cannot each contain every kind of equipment. University College London's hospitals supply an example of several locations only minutes apart. The analogy is an extension of existing vacuum-pod systems. Medication creates security difficulties, especially for controlled drugs such as morphine and oxycodone. Such deliveries would require strong security.
