Yes we need some tougher approaches to buying.One very simple way to reduce NHS costs would be to use its buying power properly. As a single entity it could and should be able to negotiate amazing rates on volume purchases. Instead, this is done at PCT or CCG level, and therefore the costs are different in different parts of the country. A somewhat daft approach if you ask me.
May I just correct something ... we can not they can.It's not a free service as a lot of people say, all working people pay a national insurance contribution, the only problem would be if it was a private company a lot of people could not afford the premium so lets all be thankful they can keep it that low.
Who do the NHS look after then? sick people I believe.

It's just another tax!It's not a free service as a lot of people say, all working people pay a national insurance contribution, the only problem would be if it was a private company a lot of people could not afford the premium so lets all be thankful they can keep it that low.
What I'm saying is their pay should be around a hundred and fifty grand plus expenses.@JACKTHELAD I don't know where you got 150 Grand salary from. MP salary is a little over £67k. PM gets paid £142k. Expenses are for running an office, travel, etc. Whilst some took the mick, most don't and I'd suggest that in most cases it's a hiding to nothing in terms of jobs.
Yes they get paid more than the living wage, but it's by no means a way to get rich and do nothing.

It's our NHS it's our money it's our government. it's not an imaginary there's.
Politicians need reminding daily that they work for me ... work for yo ... we employ them.
I'd like to see some big changes in politics ..... hundred and fifty grand a year wages expenses to be worked out paid on productivity.
The wages on offer at the moment don't really attract people who need the money. so we end up with hobbyist part time politicians and a lot of millionaires who haven't a clue how I live and manage.@JACKTHELAD Apologies, misunderstood your post
