What Leeds hospital trust have been doing is in order to try and get staff to be more resourceful with the equipment they are using is putting the cost per item under the trays/cupboards they are stored in.
For example something like a box of syringes 10ml's £20 for 100 or 2p each we can go through about 400/500 a day.
down to the cost of biscuits they give to the patients £1.10 for Rich tea 70 patients a day 4 on each plate twice a day
It all adds up. but they recently bought some office chairs from their catalogue of approved suppliers £190 each but they were selling the same ones in staples for £90 each.
Bed side tables you know the ones you can wheel under the bed so the top half of the table is across you £250 each
They really do need to crack down on stuff like that.

That's just ridiculous. I can understand why those directly involved wouldn't want to admit to the profligacy and wastage but can someone explain to me why the unions, for example, aren't making more of a fuss about this sort of 'criminal' wastage and the cost of using 'approved' suppliers?
