Abstract

Tight budgets are forcing the UK's regional health authorities to examine ways of improving efficiency. One of the most forward‐looking is the Trent authority, which has adopted industry practices in procurement, stock management, storage and distribution, and which in 1986 opened a regional distribution centre. Ian Bradshaw, regional supplies officer for Trent Regional Health Authority, describes the impact of computer systems and the implementation issues behind these initiatives.
