"this one-stop clinic does just that and has dramatically reduced waits for patients, enabling treatment to start more quickly. "it is a great example of what can be achieved through the efficiency and productivity programme. "i am impressed that nhs scotland has saved 300 million in 2008-09 but this project reminds us that efficiency isn't just about saving money - it is about delivering the best possible service for patients." james mccaffery, chief operating officer for acute services at nhs lothian, said: "we know how important it is that patients are seen and diagnosed as quickly as possible for any type of illness. "the changes that we have made at the breast unit have dramatically reduced the amount of time which women wait for diagnosis, and this means that women who are diagnosed with breast cancer can start their treatment sooner. "nhs lothian is leading the way in introducing efficiencies to improve the services we provide. this year alone we have delivered over 19 million of savings which has been reinvested into patient care." aims to achieve two per cent cash-releasing efficiencies over the three-year period 2008-09 to 2010-11."
