Medical Equipment Fit for Todays Health Service

In March 2011 the National Audit Office published a report entitled 'Managing high value capital equipment in the NHS in England', which was ordered by the House of Commons. The report reviewed the use of three essential pieces of high value equipment in the NHS, their past and predicted future use and associated costs.

Louise Hamilton, Head of NHS Sales & Marketing at Singers Healthcare Finance responded to the National Audit Office report in an special feature for Health Business magazine. This objective report emphasises the need to look beyond traditional capital funding in procurement strategies and, the significant benefits that can be achieved by leasing high value, hi-tech equipment.
