A very worrying thought........ job losses, reduced number of centres reduced local knowledge.

 

Listening to some of this on the radio the other day and all of the above were offered as reasons not to close the local centres BUT.....

 

The new/upgraded centres are supposed to be orders of magnitude more capable and collectively superior to what we have now, allegedly.

 

Personally, I would need to see hard evidence from any argument before making this decision.

 

Too much at stake

For all those who are undecided..... Recent History should tell you that once privatised the "services " will be sorted into categories and the more you want the more you pay....

and each year the categories will be trimmed, sorted and sensitised to ensure the highest returns... ph34r.gif

 

Radical change like the intended privatisation are always the Governments way of a "Quick Fix" knee jerk solution and the only losers are the users of the service and those who pay tax for the ever diminishing services and ever increasing wages / expenses bill of the Government.

 

Death by a thousand cuts !! RR / NHS / a host of Local Government Services / BL / TV / BT / B gas / B Elec .......list goes on. sad.gif

 

AND as PJ says .....call centre in India !!! sick.gif

 

Keep what we got and if change is needed .... introduce them at an acceptable pace.

Exactly.

After working in MoD for 43 years, you soon realise that the government only change things for their own benefit, not ours.

Most changes are a cost cutting exercise, it's the front line services that get cut, not the bureaucracy.
