whenim I'm horrified by what you say about the poor vetting of agency staff - it seems the situation is even worse than I had imagined.
Your point about private agencies only being interested in profits doesn't apply just in this case. It seems to me that wherever services have been privatised this has had a detrimental effect for all the reasons you give - cost-cutting, reduced health and safety, demoralised staff, poor training, etc., etc.
And the worst thing is that when they've got a stranglehold on everything, they can then use blackmail to try and prevent proper regulation - the bankers and "wealth creators" will leave the country if they can't get their bonuses, we will be subjected to "blackouts" if measures are taken to stop the price-fixing of the energy companies, etc. etc.
