Audit Commission 1994 paperback, A NEW BOOK UNUSED. Full refund if not satisfied. 24 hour despatch. Synopsis A number of health and local authorities have recently been subject to bad publicity over their use of consultants and there have been several instances of large-scale consultancy projects that have failed to deliver what they promised. Poor management of consultancy projects is a waste of a very expensive resource. In 1992, spending on management consultants in the NHS and local authorities amounted to #120 million. In this report, the Audit Commission reviews the use of management consultants throughout England and Wales, identifies strengths and weaknesses in local practices, and concludes with a checklist of good practice. The Commission hopes that this report will improve levels of accountability and help authorities get better value for money from consultancy projects.
