Or got the staffing levels right like every other employer has had to, they were given an (working time directive) exemption because of the time it would take to train new doctors and still want 120 hour weeks for junior doctors. When the amount of time that a driver can be behind the wheel of a coach is limited for safety reasons it defies logic to think a doctor will work safely for three times as long.

The NHS is paying “extortionate” prices for basic computer equipment and services, with dealers collecting profit margins of up to 328 per cent, a study has found. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/news/9260179/NHS-pays-extortionate-328-per-cent-mark-up-on-printer-parts.html

That's what you get when you use "preferred suppliers". My firm is one to the MOD and we rip them off on most things, e.g. a 13 amp fuse is £6.00. Great for us but bad for the military.
