Grasshopper (Iggly) … over two previous pages I have shown you some of the sheer scale of government inefficiencies/waste, especially as many of those MP law/policy makers have not got a business savvy little grey cell in their head, it is not by fault that you are a rubbish student.
But enough about money, as the majority of our public services are not functioning in any financial or efficiency competition with the private sector, hence we hear today that thanks to a ‘turf war’ between midwives and doctors in the Morecombe Bay Trust Hospital tens of mothers/babies died needlessly over 9-years and in order to protect the vulnerable from ‘inefficient’ public services doing their job, the threat of a 5-year jail term was (arguably) needed.
Please do not get me wrong, as it seems you are more against free market driven competition, than I am FOR it, as on the whole the public sector ‘front line’ does an excellent jobs, I even want the lower paid to be paid substantially MORE.
But I detest (and will always speak out about) the taxpayer waste of incompetent, inefficient, governance like the creation of quangos we could do without prior to 1997 – that even those that created them, talking about rises for the likes of nurses/midwives, STILL talk about forming more commissions etc after 2015 and have not worked out if administrator/bureaucracy waste was cut, THE MONEY IS ALREADY THERE to recruit more and better pay the front line workers.
Finally, what you and trade unions run by protectionist dinosaurs have to realise is WHO owns the public sector, WHO the end client is and WHO pays for the public sector, as it one and the same, all the citizens within the UK.
Far too often the question is not WHAT IS BEST for the citizen ‘clients’ via cost and services, it is an internal one sided ‘turf war’ where the top down cost inefficiencies of public sector scares the trade unions and their government apologists into ideological rants of ‘privatisation’ by the blue team - even if THEY contracted the private sector to provide services (we assume they thought was going to do better) on their watch e.g. the NHS currently contracting out under 6% of their budget, under 5% of those contracts were issued by the last Labour government.
