Stationery Office publication. This strategy explains how the NHS can achieve significant benefits, including cost savings and improving quality, by adopting an approach based on the sound principles of sustainable development, focusing on environmental issues, economic considerations and social impacts.
Sustainable development is not rocket science. Those who manage their resources prudently and wisely and hate waste do it all the time. The aim of this strategy is to introduce a change of approach, a more informed thought process, where decisions are made based on the knowledge of what the impacts and implications could be.
Also available from the Stationery Office priced £35-00.
