Central and local Government employee numbers ballooned by around 800,000 over the last 15 years, largely from "mission creep" whereby new and unwanted functions were taken on by taxpayer-funded employees, such as "Five a Day Advisors" and "Diversity Fascilitators", the cost of whose inflation-proofed final salary pensions will be with us for decades even IF (big IF intentional) their jobs were to disappear. |

Put it another way - the Government has created an extra 400 jobs, and kept the Agency staff in employment. ;-) |
