Same with most companies and departments taken over. Most of the times its just the name, logo and a few managers which change.
I agree, but to compete in this so called market place for lucrative government contracts, is the security of our data being compromised. We all hate paying higher taxes, but when it all comes down to choosing the lowest bidder instead of the best bid or the best way of doing things, I think that we have just got to accept that these things are going to happen. It all brings to mind one (to my my mind, very well deserved) description of the Tory party who started all this outsourcing, "they seem to know the cost of everything and the value of nothing"

Don't get me all wrong, I like many others, find myself very disillusioned with Gordon Brown and the Labour Party in general these days, but I think that anyone who thinks that Cameron and his bunch is the answer to our problems must have a very short memory.
