WIHB photocopiers
I understand that the Health Board decided to save on photocopying charges late last year.
The solution was to buy 50 industrial size photocopiers and ship them to Lewis to replace the ones on hire.
Unfortunately (you could guess this was coming), they didn't bother to check the contracts attaching to the existing photocopiers and they now are paying twice for the same service.
That's perhaps £150k* of taxpayers money wasted every year; but who approved it? And are they still employed? Have they been disciplined?
I feel an FoI request coming on....
* That's 8 nurses, 1.5 GP's or 2 Directors of Finance.
