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.
The following make for interesting reading:

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
We understand that you're concerned about NHS procurement, but we're not sure what action you'd like to see.
You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
