NHS returns to china cups and saucers in war on disposable cups Hospitals are bringing back china crockery as an investigation reveals the NHS has used more than 600 million disposable cups in the last five years.
The findings follow warnings from the chief medical officer that the NHS is a “significant polluter” creating “huge amounts” of waste that is threatening the environment.
Data obtained through Freedom of Information requests show that NHS trusts in England have purchased 609,830,335 disposable cups since 2013.
One London trust, Guy's and St Thomas', purchased almost 30 million cups over the period. The Daily Telegraph
