Unintelligible quangocracy speak

 

13.11.08

 

You have been kind enough to tolerate me as your MP for over three years now .  In that time I have met many lovely people  in local government, the NHS, schools and others employed by the state .  But sometimes I don ’t understand what they are saying.

 

Do you  find it irritating ev ery time you hear a term such as "place-shaping", "transformation" or "stakeholder engagement"?    It is almost a different language, which confuses rather than enlightens - almost a sort of code that keeps outsiders out.  The worst offenders are employees of quangos – that is the “quasi, autonomous, non-governmental organisations”   -   bureaucrats that have the ultimate say on our planning, regional assemblies, the EU, food regulators,   the   environment, and the list goes on. There is also quite a bit of this in the NHS.
