NHS to waste £20M per year in search to save money
NHS offers millions of pounds in prize money for innovation
Cash prizes totalling £20 million are being offered by the Department of Health to people who come up with innovative ways of cutting costs or discover health care breakthroughs.
"The NHS is struggling to find £2.3 billion efficiency savings this year and is facing the possibility of a budget freeze on spending in the near future"...
"The challenges will be set annually by an expert panel which will include staff who will advise ministers and set the parameters of the challenge.
Prizes will be up to £5m per innovation and winners will be celebrated at an annual awards event".
£2.3 billion efficiency saving spending £20 million annually needlessly?
A mixture of law, politics, autobiography and humour. Once described as "The Devilish Advocate" (Guardian), I do have the ability to provoke a response. Sometimes it comes from someone who uses a thought process, and sometimes from jerks usually associated with the knee.
