It was not meant to be a comment on the responses - I am sure people do their best. What comparison is used? I am not convinced that value for money exists in the private sector and I agree with Deputy Donnelly that the NTPF is, at best, a sticking plaster. How does Mr. Woods decide that it is good value for money? We have heard from the head of the NTPF, who is a public servant, to the effect that the private sector is always better. I am not convinced that it is and I have not been convinced by any of the answers I have received that the Department is convinced either.
