<\/a>\nWhat does this letter say …<\/p>\n
- \n
- The NHS is required to improve productivity by 20%.<\/li>\n
- The NHS needs to work collaboratively with its suppliers.<\/li>\n
- The NHS would like to learn the “secrets” from its suppliers.<\/li>\n

… and follow the footsteps of the courageous innovators.<\/p>\n
