So who do you blame now as these changes have taken place over
a number of years and pushed by a number of different governments!
But l think our goal now should be to take all essential services back
into public ownership when the contracts expire as private owners
have not proven to be either efficient or trustworthy imo??
Donkeyman! 🤔🤔
When you design the way such services are structured they should all link into other services and not be postcode lottery arrangements. We have a patchwork here and silo thinking. Too much regional power too, so empires build up. The alternative of too much central power also causes problems.
Given our recent experience they could simply bring the army in to sort it all out. They seem to understand how to organise things and sort out all the rubbish in between.
Get rid of all the good for nothing management consultants creaming off the system giving rubbish "solutions" that just create more work for them in future. Appoint army experts to redesign the way things are set up in a sensible and logical way.

EDF is mostly French govt owned and seems to be a good supplier. Perhaps we should be looking at how other countries structure the governance and finances that lead to success. Or a "John Lewis" type partnership model where we all own a stake instead of some faceless investment funds.When you design the way such services are structured they should all link into other services and not be postcode lottery arrangements.

advisers are concerned. And also heads of departments that only
have administrative skills and know nothing about the actual work
of their departments!!
