Fair and ethical trade in health procurement
Mahmood F Bhutta The Lancet, Volume 372, Issue 9654, Pages 1935 - 1937, 6 December 2008 doi:10.1016/S0140-6736(08)61826-7 "On Dec 8, 2008, the UK's National Health Service (NHS) Purchasing and Supply Agency (NHS PASA) will launch a consultation called Ethical Procurement for Health, a guidance document designed to ensure that goods purchased for use in the NHS are manufactured ethically. Ethical manufacturing means adherence to basic international labour standards and must be fair (ie, workers are paid a living wage). The document details the policies that individual NHS organisations need to develop, from the first steps in ethical procurement, such as a risk-assessment exercise, to eventually being a champion of ethical procurement, with monitoring and external reporting of policies and activities."
