Mr. Watt discussed procurement with Deputy Fleming, but how satisfied is he that the HSE can deliver in terms of procurement savings?

I had a conversation recently with a senior official in Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital, Drogheda and she indicated that there was evidence that they might have been able to purchase some of their equipment at a lower rate. Some of this was low level stuff, but it all mounts up. Is there a system in place to ensure they get decent value for money for what they acquire?
