I don't think we've professionalised enough and that that is the problem. There is too much variety, too many companies running in completely different ways - some charities, some limited companies, some part of universities, some part of local councils, some sole traders. They are all going to react differently in the current crisis because they are set up and run in different ways. I think it's a bit simplistic to say its a private sector activity undertaken on behalf of the developer and also that that statement has a slight hint of meaning 'and the developer then controls the results'...
