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.
The civil servants who lose their jobs will be the ordinary, underpaid, overworked ones who actually make a difference to peoples lives through their work, not the jargon spouting suits.
