"Capita also receive in accordance with the contract a total of payment of £1.8m over the five year period for establishing and running the Programme Management Office". I take that this is addition to the 6.5% (702K to date) of savings made and the management expenses above? The circa £590,000 figure for expenses reported above is for transport, accommodation and meals. With main expenses covered to such an extent the burden of risk on Capita is somewhat reduced. I personally think its trying it on to charge for meals. The people working for Capita get paid a wage (probably a fairly decent one as business consultants) - they can feed themselves out of that surely instead of passing the bill onto us? I would be curious as to what they do bill and whether the type of transport they take, accommodation they live in and meals they charge for are "reasonable". When I think of the financial expertise we have on island I wonder why are even paying for accommodation and travel expenses. Could we have not just employed one of the big 4 - do they not have consultants? I guess not or we assumedly would have. I also have heard the term "penalties" used for not meeting targets. I cannot see any other penalty beyond them not getting the 6.5% for savings when they have not made them. Is this correct? What do the States employees working with Capita think of them?
