The Government's Chosen Contractors - Liars, Cheats or Incompetent?
« on: September 20, 2012, 07:42:25 PM »
Just read an article about the Government's chosen supplier Serco...

Serco gave NHS false data about its GP service 252 times

"Private firm admits falsifying data about out-of-hours doctor service in Cornwall, prompting call for review of contract"

http://bit.ly/QFmVdR

Hot on the heals of the contractors for security at the Olympic Games, G4S, who couldn't organise a p*ss up in a brewery - and Close Protection UK who had jobseekers sleeping rough under bridges, it is now getting quite obvious that the privatisation of NHS is in very real danger.

And when our children and grandchildren wonder why they can't afford the new healthcare prices/insurance, what exactly will we tell them?

It's a disgrace!

Labour probably started the procedure back in 19**  'JOKE'  ;)

Bit of a disturbing read though.
Labour did this sort of thing with the Capita Group if I'm not mistaken.
Contracts handed out left right and centre to their buddies.

Isn't the Criminal Records Bureau part of Capita, and the new Child Support Agency.
Both of which have had massive failures.

What do you mean mocking your previous responses?

I also asked a question, which hasn't been answered yet.
Runs off to google 'Capita' . . . .

Looks like the Capita group is still running services for the Gov.
http://www.capita.co.uk/about-us/pages/case-study-listing.aspx

Wonder how many of Lab or Con Gov have shares in the company ?

Only asking. I can always blame the Zyban  ;)
