Ever wondered how much your local hospital pays for incontinence pads, medical wipes or surgical gloves?
I guess its not the sort of thing you want to think about for too long, if at all.
But it matters to everyone as taxpayers because potentially £25m of public money is being wasted every year.
That at least is the government's message.
Ministers argue that by better procurement, hospital managements could save money and reallocate it to front-line services.
