My colleague was also inspirational on this. He mentioned that clinicians had expressed concerns about procurement. I can understand that, having been involved in the initial stages of a hospital development programme previously. Clinicians usually want the best, and they are entitled to that and should get it, but I am unsure as to whether my colleague was suggesting that there should be increased expenditure to comply with their wishes or whether the quality and status of the services to be provided would likely be of a lesser value as a result of what the clinicians expressed concerns about.
