I thought they explained things very well too, which is why I copied them across from the PCS site without changing them

It is from the PCS website and I couldn’t better the comments so I repeated the article in a series of four posts here

I agree efficiency is the key as long as the public service is provided efficiently at the best possible cost.

Don’t get me started on privatisation, I could rant for England on that!!!

Another excellent piece Cherie. I have no problem with ensuring that government departments operate as efficiently as possible and in some case work can be better outsourced to the private sector. That said there are limits to what can be done and privatisation has all too often been a disaster – the destruction of expertise and thus a poorer service (often at greater cost – government departments seem to have a poor track record when it comes to writing advantageous contracts!.

Ach I could go on
