[Exile on Spencer St]

Margaret, from your experience what’s your take on waste in the NHS?
Realise it’s the equivalent of heresy to even suggest a criticism of the NHS, but I’ve heard stories from other people of scissors being thrown away after being used once to cut a bandage or to do some basic chiropody.
I do sometimes wonder if, as well as U.K. suppliers, risk averse and administratively cumbersome public organisations have forgotten the need to re-use (after sterilising in the NHS) some equipment.
