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.
@MatthewStadlen Jamie George's tackle at full speed changes the angle of everything. It's split second stuff.... get your boots on if you can do better?
@OCInsuranceUK amazing company.... if by amazing you mean awful... we had our car stolen, every single step with one call was like a visit to the dentist....
Honestly, it's just awful. Choose anyone else, Big Dave down the pub would provide a better service.
@MindCharity This has nothing to do with racism.... it has everything to do with the driver of a vehicle linked to Firearms and a car failing to stop for police. Chris Kaba is no stranger to the Police and has been previously charged with Firearm offences.
You should be ashamed of yourself
@ASOS @ASOS_HeretoHelp can you explain why I've been blocked as a customer after 10 years and no refund is issued when your delivery company leave a parcel outside my address unattended. Pretty disgraceful. #thetrusthasgone
