ICES OUTSOURCING

We believe that a proposal to outsource the integrated community equipment store within Brighton & Hove City Council is fundamentally wrong.  Council-run services are the best due to the commitment and training of committed staff who work within the service.  The service deals with some extremely vulnerable people in the community and profit should not be the motivation of such a service.  We therefore call upon Brighton and Hove city Councillors to reject this proposal and retain in-house services for both the interests of those vulnerable service users and staff alike.
