Huge consternation has followed the leaking of details last week of a fiery meeting between Sir Bob Kerslake, head of the civil service, and the prime minister's director of strategy, Steve Hilton, who was reported to have voiced his frustration at the "failure" of the bureaucracy to implement his more radical ideas.

Hilton, who left Downing Street last week, is reported to have proposed that 90% of the work done by civil servants could be outsourced to thinktanks, charities and private companies

Ok for the NHS, schools and the police though....
