As always he was looking for something to beat the NHS with to show how badly run and loss making things were.
While Hunt was checking the books, he turned to the executive of the hospital and said “I notice you buy a lot of bandages. What do you do with the middle of the roll ?”
“Good question,” noted the executive. “We save them up and send them back to the bandage company and every once in a while, they send us a free roll. We recycle whenever possible”
“Oh,” replied Hunt,, somewhat disappointed that his unusual question had a practical answer. But on he went, “What about all these coloured casts you dispense. Isn’t it rather a waste of money?”
“Ah, yes,” replied the executive, realizing that Hunt was trying to trap him. “We ask that any patient wishing a coloured cast donates £1 which is far in excess of the 10p the colouring actually costs.”
Hunt was determined to fluster the know-it-all executive.
“Well, What do you do with all the remains from the circumcision surgeries?”
“Here, too, we do not waste,” answered the executive. “What we do is save all the little foreskins and send them to the government, and about once a year, at this time, they send us a complete prick.”
