Tender process - fair trading - the audit office

Office of Fair Trading to investigate? Interesting thought. The audit office is there to protect tax payers' money and to ensure that it is used wisely.

What about Doncaster PCT that purchased 80 telehealth systems 2 years ago, never put any of them into use and are purchasing another 180 of the supplier's new product which now replaces the previous one? What about Nottingham PCT that purchased 300 systems 2 years ago and only have 100 in use? What about the plethora of PCTs in the West Midlands that purchased several years ago? What a waste - other than for the supplier!
