[QUOTE="bulkbiker, post: 1480995, member: 219467"] Has anyone actually sat in a hospital and watched what goes on? Hordes of people shuffling around with paper files. I even offered to take my mothers down with us when we last went but oh no we had to wait for someone to carry it instead... paper files in 2017 really? My mother had some pre-cancerous skin lesions removed and we went back to get the dressings changed. The nurse.. put on her disposable apron Got about 8 items out of the drawer including a pair of vacuum packed scissors. Put two dressings on my mother's leg. By the time we left she had a carrier bag full of waste then she added her apron to that pile. Seriously for 2 dressings? The amount of waste in manpower and materials in the NHS is quite mind boggling. Something needs to change. It is completely unsustainable both in terms of the environment (all that plastic packaging waste) and financially. How much extra tax would you all want to pay so someone else can wander around hospital corridors delivering files? It is our money that is being wasted here not the NHS's. [/QUOTE]
