State sector failing

The second case review, out today, shows Baby Peter's "horrifying death" was down to the incompetence of almost every member of staff who came into contact with him. He had been visited 60 times by the authorities in the eight months before his death.

As The Spectator Coffee House reports, Her Majesty’s Inspectorate of Constabulary has found that 15 of 22 police authorities perform ‘adequately’, which is defined as meeting ‘most of the minimum requirements of the specified role…they were most effective at dealing with local short-term policing priorities’. With forces facing 20% cuts, only 4 authorities were judged to have set clear strategic direction and ensured value of money.

Two bad examples of a state sector complacent and flabby.
