Rejected petition We urge the Government to tackle the procurement scandal in the NHS.
The issue of procurement in the National Health Service (NHS) is little short of a national scandal. On almost every product or service the NHS is being fleeced. As the UK tax payer funds the NHS it is the duty of every government to ensure that money is spent wisely doing what the NHS does best.
