Just thinking... in some ways a 'monopoly' might be quite positive.
A single, acredited and [u]answerable</u> organisation (with set rules and regulations) rather than a load of competitive tendering units doing the usual under and corner-cutting!
One of the things about a monopoly is that it is singularly answerable to its staff, its regulators and to its public. Elsewhere on here (BAJR) we've been highlighting 'strikes' and 'positive action'... only really works when we are together. One unit = one system. If conditions and pay were that bad in a single unit, then we could [u]all</u> go on strike and actually make a difference.
Just a thought
I hate every ape I see,
From chimpan-a to chimpanzee,
You'll never make a monkey out of me!
