In 2021, Procurement Services undertook a review of expenditure relating to printed stationery across the Health Board. The review identified ongoing demand for a range of bespoke printed materials including, but not limited to: • Community Nursing Drug Charts • Ward Control Drug Books • Specimen Bags • Hospital Register Books • Insulin Adult Prescription Charts • Patient Risk Assessment and Care Documentation • Clinical Pathway Forms • Laboratory and Referral Forms • Prescription and Administration Records Although there has been a strategic push to digitise paper-based documentation, which accelerated following the COVID-19 pandemic, a number of essential clinical and operational documents remain in hard copy format for governance, regulatory, and operational reasons.
