The complaint made to me was that while people are asked to feed into the procurement process, they have no input whatsoever when the final decisions are made. Their concern is that the decision makers are not the people who have the expertise. They believe problems will continue to arise, particularly in relation to IT and new equipment, unless the structure is changed so people with expertise in the area are also involved in the decision-making process.
