It was disclosed a little while ago, that the NHS are paying well over the odds for drugs and equipment - it appears that suppliers are really taking them to the cleaners! - largely because each Trust are responsible for purchasing their own requirements instead of these being purchased on a Nationwide basis in bulk - with better competition with regards quality and pricing.
I was really surprised to find out the cost of blood glucose test strips recently and even more surprised at the poor level of accuracy these strips have to be in order to be deemed fit for purpose. I should like this area to be taken up by University researchers. I am confident that the present accuracy of test strips can be significantly improved upon and produced more cheaply.
