I have often thought that one of the ways to reduce cost as the NHS would be to centralise purchasing for all items from cotton wool buds to MRI machines.
These days Amazon boast that you can place an order at 10 am and it can be delivered by 4pm the same day.
Imagine a government contract awarded to Amazon to store in one central warehouse all NHS materials . Allowing every hospital in the UK to send orders for supplies.
Also imagine as an example of one item, how many cotton wool buds are sitting in stock at each and every hospital in the country. It will run into millions, whereas using the just in time ordering this stock pile would be massively reduced.
Further to this (and I maybe wrong) each hospital have buyers for all supplies. They are able to use any supplier they choose and I am sure not at the best prices . Centralised supplies offers great negotiation power with suppliers.
Biologist Professor Robert Winston said on BBC Question Time in 2021 that you cannot change sex. He’s of course never been invited back on the BBC, which claims to worship diversity, but doesn’t like diversity of opinion which might see its woke pieties challenged.
Aaron Dugmore was nine years old. He was one of the few White children in a school where roughly 75% of pupils were non-White. His family said he was subjected to racial abuse, including being told that “all the white people should be dead”, before he was found with a cord around his neck. No outrage , nothing saying why as a native white British little boy just starting his life out and bullied by a pack of foreign kids that maybe there is a problem in our country

Some Muslims demand great respect for their practices, while clearly showing little respect for the practices of other cultures
Respect for traditions should work in both directions,
but newcomers should certainly respect the age-old customs of the British - like taking the dog for a walk
