Re: Lack of accountability, ever changing requirements and awful contracts
To be fair to the "Whitehall senior departmental civil servants" it's quite hard when one day the government swears it wants a four bedroom detached house but once the building's started it gradually turns out what it really wants is a submarine!
As far as I can see from my lowly position this government and previous ones will not listen so there's no point turning round and saying "this won't work", or "what you really want is". What they want these days is for their top civil servants to look at their latest crayon "drawing" and tell them how wonderful it is.
