A very worrying thought........ job losses, reduced number of centres reduced local knowledge.

 

Listening to some of this on the radio the other day and all of the above were offered as reasons not to close the local centres BUT.....

 

The new/upgraded centres are supposed to be orders of magnitude more capable and collectively superior to what we have now, allegedly.

 

Personally, I would need to see hard evidence from any argument before making this decision.

 

Too much at stake

I have only needed it once (just recently) and I can say I was very pleased to know someone was so close to me if i needed serious assistance.

I actually agree with Trevor and will also wait and see. The old ways are not always the best ways but I do need proof from both camps before I jump either way

For all those who are undecided..... Recent History should tell you that once privatised the "services " will be sorted into categories and the more you want the more you pay....

and each year the categories will be trimmed, sorted and sensitised to ensure the highest returns...

 

Radical change like the intended privatisation are always the Governments way of a "Quick Fix" knee jerk solution and the only losers are the users of the service and those who pay tax for the ever diminishing services and ever increasing wages / expenses bill of the Government.

 

Death by a thousand cuts !! RR / NHS / a host of Local Government Services / BL / TV / BT / B gas / B Elec .......list goes on.

 

AND as PJ says .....call centre in India !!!

 

Keep what we got and if change is needed .... introduce them at an acceptable pace.

Exactly.

After working in MoD for 43 years, you soon realise that the government only change things for their own benefit, not ours.

Most changes are a cost cutting exercise, it's the front line services that get cut, not the bureaucracy.
