Radical Change in DFT

The face of the DFT is changing is to become the department for transport and family, private sector has already moved in to the warm seats of the staff in the DVLA, pushed into the rolling redundancy programme.

So how does this affect us? VOSA, DVLA, DSA names of the past, smaller private sector companies to inject finance and control under the lead of a BPO, EU owned with a UK interest. So no wonder we will see strikes, but the action is wasted, it is a waste of their energy and tax payers money, the ink on the contract is dry.

Is this the step towards reclaiming our triple A credit rating, which has become more important than the quality of lives for the residents of the UK. Or is this passing the buck, deliver or be fined. ISSC1 went live this month, but the giant computer programme system planned to cover all of the departments surely is a disaster waiting to happen, this is one of the most radical and ambitious moves by any Government, but is it the EU control through the back door?

There has been much talk of the driving test being privatised and the check test system changing or effectively being replaced, well be careful, blink and you may miss it in the document, the writing is on the wall.

The DFT is the first department for radical change but the brave move to merge other departments for ISSC2 looks great on paper, but how it will ever work, or be recovered if the system crashes is anyones guess. The protection of our private data by an independant company is scary, the running of our lives and the introduction of the universal credit system and the introduction of a newly created Government department to work on benchmarking and to oversee quality and standards.

Will any Government service be as we know it now? The only departments untouched are HMRC, MOJ and MOD, so the answer is no. For this to have gone live in March 2013 with the next phase going live by March 2014, shows this was in the background for sometime, long before any consultation, proving again that consultations are lip service.
