Last month I blogged about the Youth Justice Board paying £1m over three years to one IT manager, employed as a consultant. They have now decided to end this arrangement and instead employ a normal member of staff, at much lower cost:
An IT consultant who cost the Youth Justice Board (YJB) £336,000 last year is to be replaced by a permanent employee on a regular pay grade, CYP Now can reveal.
The move, which could save the YJB more than £200,000 a year, comes on the back of concerns raised over the high cost of employing chief information officer Mike Mackay. (Source: CYP Now)

Damn, I could have just done with an IT consultancy job at £336,000 a year 🙂
So is anyone going to do anything about what appears to have been an overpayment of about £200 000?
