Warning over surgery kit cleaning

A plan to move the sterilisation of surgical equipment out of hospitals is "a recipe for chaos", a group of surgeons has said.

The government wants instruments to be cleaned at about 50 new "super centres" across England and Wales, each serving all hospitals in a region.

I appreciate that the NHS needs to be cost effective, but the outsourcing of operationally critical functions is becoming ridiculous!

What next?

Well, if you require stitches, we could send patients to a local tailor? Or maybe we could allow Vetinary Surgeons perform minor operations on the low-income patients?

I'd like to propose that random drug testing be compulsory for all members of Government Steering Bodies be enforced immediately!
