Moneo writes: Capita’s failure to pay contractors has reached the point of scandal

Recently the optical mailbases have been full of irate and desperate optometrists, mostly contractors I have to say, who have been left well and truly in the lurch by the Department of Health (DH). This, of course, will not come as a surprise to anyone who has had dealings with the DH in the past. The cause for this latest debacle is the non-payment of GOS fees by the latest organisation to team with the department, namely Capita. There is a mantra that says that if you are totally incompetent but want to appear competent make sure you employ, or choose to work with, someone even more incompetent than yourself. This would appear to hold very true in this case.
