RE: Report on CDC from APPG6 Jul 2023 13:17
Thanks again NDR -and that in a nutshell shows what is wrong with the establishment -it is too slow.If that was a proper commercial concern the report would have been issued within a week or two . There is poor Tom trying to get some urgency into procurement so they can benefit with the winter NHS demand ,and really being quite aggressive for him in describing the recent local procurement fiascos ,and this report isn't out till September.
And when he was pushing a centrally managed procurement one of the people asked him if anyone was listening to him centrally - how come she didnt know -too many people, too many silos, too many trusts-it is just too unwieldy .
As far as I know they said there were 108 cdcs up and running ,with another 140 to come on board? It is incomprehensible BLEEPA does not seem to be being taken up -is it not needed?! And again at QVH it seems to being rolled out at a snails pace- how can we roll out at scale?Steve Barclay needs to bash heads together- any normal megalith company will have central procurement so all companies within the group have the same eg telephones -you get economies of scale and purchasing leverage -how can that not be the case with the biggest employer in the UK? It is beyond belief we have all these trusts with their own ceos ,management reports infrastructure- it is no wonder they keep pouring money in with little tangible results .
Tom frustrates me now- he has gone public with a reason for no deals being done-why cant he talk around it now in a proactive video, and deal with other concerns like the impact of the delays on his "runway". He was always out front before ,now he seems to be hiding. Poor show
Thanks again ndr -you seems to have the stamina many of the rest of us havent! Worn out by the lack of news in my case- so frustrating ,and as I predicted the share price continues to slide.
