Contracting Out

[drplokta]

Looks like any remaining in-house cleaning contracts in the Civil Service and NHS are getting contracted out, pronto. David Cameron plans to pay managers more if they can get all of their low-paid staff off their organisation's payroll and onto someone else's.

Exactly. Not only that the costs of cleaning may actually rise as service fees and taxes are placed on the bill. Yes, the trust may be able to claim the taxes back (which they can do as long as it is still acceptable - government VAT reclaim rules are ridiculously complicated.) but its still money moving round for no reason when they could simply employ staff on Minimum wage instead.
