I fully agree with anonymous 02.13. Hugh Barrett should explain his failure to effectively reform criminal legal aid services. The only reforms which have actually been implemented are:

1. Reductions in fees
2. The creation of the DSCC as a gateway to Legally aided advice

Both could have been done in short order without the huge expense and stress of the obsession with tendering. When ideology leads procurement then waste of financial and other resources is the only outcome.
