New strategy for NHS procurement Manchester Conference Centre, 17 April 2012.
Through the QIPP agenda, the NHS is expected to deliver procurement savings of pounds 1.2 bn by 2014/15. The question at the conference was--is that enough? The NHS as a whole is expected to deliver efficiencies of some pounds 20 bn, which implies that, if procurement was to take its fair share, savings of some pounds 3 bn-3.5 bn would be needed.
