And yet the government hires ever more civil servants (Gordon Brown did say they were going to cut back, but I don't think that's really happenned). On the other hand the answer to everything these days seems to be to throw more monitoring targets and the like at a problem. Does it solve a problem no. Do these "consultants" actually come up with anything new or novel I very much doubt it.

On the other hand, by emplying consultants it makes the government look good as they are giving work to private firms, and keeping their own employee numbers down.
