@williamrook @HSJnews @NHSEngland @NHS I agree with what you are saying and you cant be error free, but there is still scope to improve and make savings. even its its 10% of 770

[Marc Phayer @marc_phayer]

@williamrook @HSJnews @NHSEngland @NHS Well its estimated that low hanging fruit could yield significant savings. In 2007 it cost NHS £770m. https://t.co/Ik6lbqJ36g

@PaulJBelcher @RCPLondon @martinmckee @natasha_azzmus @TheLancet @DacreJane @n1cksamuels @EPHA_EU @IlonaKickbusch Strongly agree, more health professionals need to be involved in policy formation from the top down. #NHS #Health #Healthcare
