  There most certainly is waste in the civil service, but it tends to lie at senior management level, i.e. expensive high-grades who run small units often with minimal or esoteric functions. No matter if government departments are tasked with huge job losses, the recommendations on who to cut will always fall to these same senior managers who will, of course, select the defenceless front line staff, the ones who actually do the job. What this results in is a protected clique of high grades who will always ride out the storm no matter what high quality of service the poor front-line worker delivers to the public. The point is, the recommendations on who to cut will come from these very people who are out to protect their own careers, bonuses and pensions - and they are the very ones the government should be looking to trim. The public ultimately suffers.
  
  Sadly ministers (of whatever party) are never truly fed the true impact of job cuts on local delivery as they do not receive information from front-line level. If only there was some way of having a true objective appraisal of the civil service fed to the top.
