Comment on: Cut the Audit Commission, not public services
Why don't we all just adopt the Systems Thinking approach, do just enough box ticking to satisfy the AC, improve all of our services and then wait until the AC just naturally disappears. Once the customer is happy because their demand is always met with value, there will no longer be any need for the AC. Rather than spending a lot of (wasted) energy arguing with the AC and trying to tell them how bad a job they are doing, why don't we just put all our efforts into proving how good it can be. This will be the best use of our resource; if they aren't interested don't involve them. Let them play in a corner on their own with their out-of-date toys while we work to improve our services for the public, while, by default, watching the AC wither away in a puff of their own pointlessness. Don't try and make then commit suicide, or even try and collude someone else into murdering them for us by trying to persuade Mr Cameron to disband them - let’s just slowly and surely cut off their oxygen supply.
