Well going by the comments and suggestions on these and other threads, I would hazard a guess they nobody could do any where as bad a job as the current incumbents. It amazes me that virtually everyone on the street knows what is needed for the items you mentioned, but the current lot have no idea, interest or the mentality to cope with the job they chose and 'we' voted them in to do.
The right answer would be lets throw money at it but not actually control what the money will actually be used for or who it goes to. A bit like all the relief and charity work in less well of places, since Bob Geldorf raised over £27 million for Africa with comments like a pound could set up an African family for a year, then why has this money not made one jot of difference and we are still being asked for more. It is down to the same reason, throw money at it and run away quickly while making sure 'we are alright jack'.
