The NHS
Our disparate NHS, formed of many previously competing and separate organisations, continues to overcome huge inefficiencies, clinical risk, and waste across the whole economy. The NHS currently employs more than 1.7 million people. It is the biggest employer in the UK, and the fifth largest in the World.
NHS Procurement
The NHS procures over £30 billion of goods and services every year to help ensure patients get the care they need. It spends this money with over 80,000 suppliers across major sectors of the economy from estates, transport, and food, to medical devices and technology, all of whom are critical to the delivery of world class care.
NHS Financial Challenges
As a result of the serious financial challenges being faced by the NHS, NHS organisations are having to meet the need for huge savings while still making significant improvements to patient safety. NHS organisations are having to do more with far less and are looking to technology and process redesign to assist in achieving these goals. This is increasingly challenging.
It could be said.....
It could be said - if we believe many of the available news articles that:
“The NHS is becoming a ‘cash cow’ for consultancy firms as contracts quadruple in value.”
“Frankly, many suppliers treat the NHS as a cash cow.”
“Our NHS should not be a cash cow for profiteering pharmaceutical companies.”
“Delivery plans turn NHS into cash cow.”
The list of headlines is endless....
NHS England last year (2022) allocated £83m for outsourced consultants.
The case stands, it could be said - that NHS suppliers can be unscrupulous and take advantage when permitted to do so.
