Go ahead I have a message.
Director, the end does not justify the means, 21 especially if the means are slightly devious. I am glad that this
particular case has come up because it has highlighted what we have been afraid of, that is that Government departments are relying too heavily on consultants and their consultants are taking for granted that their business will for ever be coming and not performing their job. As is clearly put in this particular case, the consultant's performance leaves a lot to be desired

that they are demanding.
