Council confirms fall in consultancy spend
Last month the council got in a bit of a muddle about the difference between consultants and contractors, so I asked for a like-with-like comparison with previous years. The now tells us that for the financial year 2010/11:
"The authority spent £13.7m on agency/temporary staff and £7.2m on consultants."And from a council press release dated 28th July 2010:
"Over the past two years the Council has reduced spending on consultants by more than £4 million from the £15.4m spent by the former County Council in 2008 / 2009 to £11.2 m in 2009 / 2010."
