GOVERNMENT SPENDING
It has recently been revealed that Labour are spending £1.9billion per annum on management consultants.
This has been so lucrative to the management consultants that some ‘experts’ are earning more than £2,000 per day.
Moreover, the £1.9billion figure is certainly an underestimate, given that it has been compiled from the Management Consultancies Association which only represents 65% of consultants. The consultants income has almost doubled within the last 5 years.
This is at a time when Labour intend to reduce the civil service by 100,000 to try and save £3billion. In previous times, the civil service was expected to manage itself and its departments without management consultants.
With the impending launch of ID cards and a new IT system for the NHS, it is expected that there will be even more consultancy spending.
Meanwhile, it has been revealed that the amount that the government has spent on PR and advertising has trebled since Labour came to power and is expected to be as much as £300million this year.
