CONFIRMED - NO BUSINESS CASE

The Summary version of PA Consulting's report on support services privatisation is out this afternoon. 14 pages of wriggling on a the hook that the Tories created for themselves in their manifesto: a 3000 word, 10 page document that they must be beginning to deeply regret.

Essentially PA recommend that support services should not be transferred to a private company, but that a private company will be brought in to help the Council secure increased efficiencies in its support services. This model is called with that wonderful use of plain English that surrounds consultancies - a Strategic Transformation Partnership. Sounds like something out of Dr Who - on the baddies side !

In plain English - an outside consultant ! A bit like the education partnership with Mouchell Parkman. Wonder how that is going ?
