factors that will impact on the cost of consumables are length of stay in hospitals (hospital beds)‚ ageing and growing of population‚ increased technological capability‚ improved access to healthcare‚ and societal changes reducing the availability of home care (Duckett & Willcox‚ 2011). The length of stay in hospitals impact on the cost of consumables because the longer the patient stays the more consumables (the products and services required) will be needed and hence the costs increase. For instance
