But it appears NHS staff also have a less impressive trick up their sleeves ? making things disappear.
New figures have revealed the loss of hundreds of patients? belongings in recent years has left the health service with a bill of more than ?70,000.
The compensation payments, for mislaid items, including 37 sets of dentures, 42 pairs of glasses and 88 items of clothing, saw an average of ?248 paid out to every patient with a successful claim in the last three years.
