Re: County Council plans to outsource almost all services?
It'll waste more money. You can be sure that the managers that currently run these service will stop on in some sort of co-ordinator role. Then there will be someone doing the same job as them in the private/social enterprise set up to provide the service.

If this needs to happen, i'd prefer to see it go the "ALMO"(arms length management organisation) route, this is the way a lot of council housing services are run already.

Private companies taking over would be the worst, as obviously they are profit driven, social enterprises on the other hand aren't allowed to make a profit and must return any money made back to the organisation.
