The Press and Journal is on the case this morning, Iain Ramage reports in today's edition:
'The privatisation of every care home run by Highland Council is back on the agenda.
The Press and Journal can reveal that e-mail messages exchanged by senior officials have confirmed that the controversial option has been discussed by senior members of the local authority’s administration at secret talks.
The correspondence was obtained by the opposition SNP group on the council.'

"It is evident that council officers are bent on creating a case for privatisation built solely on business reasons rather than on political values"
Heaven forbid the HC should ever be run on (whimsical, self-interested, changeable) political values!
