The Buy Better – Benefit More campaign is a reminder that good stewardship of public money is everyone’s responsibility. Every purchase, however small, represents an opportunity to achieve better value and make resources go further. By pausing to consider whether a purchase is necessary, checking what is already available, and using approved procurement routes and contracts, we can collectively make a significant difference.
The campaign asks staff to be mindful of spending decisions and to seek the best value while maintaining safe, effective services. It is about ensuring that what we buy is needed, appropriate and represents the best use of limited resources. Consistent use of agreed products, services and contracts can help reduce unnecessary variation, improve efficiency and support better outcomes across HSC.
The current financial position means we all have a part to play. The cumulative impact of thousands of everyday decisions can help protect frontline services and ensure that more funding is directed towards patient care. By embracing the principles of Buy Better – Benefit More, staff can contribute to a culture of responsible spending, better value and greater benefit for the communities we serve.
Together, by buying better, we can benefit more.
