Yes, John, those CEP publications - presumably the successors to HEI's and "Evaluations", and (no doubt) expensively produced with the taxpayer picking up the tab - are great.
But, is there any compulsion within the NHS that the advice contained within them has to be followed (or even acknowledged)?
Granted that some may make mention of life-cycle costing, how (if at all) do they address the issue of
gouging by the OEM's when it comes to selling spare parts (assemblies, whatever)?
