….or non-delivery, that is.
Tomorrow (20 November) at 2:15 pm, the public accounts committee will (hopefully) do this lot over for failures to deliver the public services for which we have forked out billions:
Witness(es): Ashley Almanza, Chief Executive, G4S, Paul Pindar, Chief Executive, Capita, Alistair Lyons CBE, Chairman, Serco and Ursula Morgenstern, Regional Chief Executive Officer, UK and Ireland, Atos.
Location: Room 15, Palace of Westminster
Tune in. Capita is taking over Barnet council as we speak so we might as well hear a bit more about how shit they are as they do it.
Oh yes and Capita is lined up for the electronic monitoring contract that Serco and G4S are supposedly in the dock for. So this is an excellent chance to hear from the companies that screwed us over with that contract and from the one that is about to.
I would like to
In February, MPs on the justice select committee described the privatisation of court interpreting services as “shambolic”, saying it had caused trials to collapse and suspects to be remanded unnecessarily in custody. Who’s to blame.. CAPITA – the very same who are in line for running tagging and lined up to run probation contracts. Doesn’t bode well does it?

Thanks for this.
Also… I’m still waiting eagerly for the results of the DWP’s appeal against the judgement in May that ESA discriminates against those with mental and behavioural conditions… the appeal hearing was many weeks ago. Seems to be taken them a long time to issue an appeal judgement.
