Nutty
I'd suggest 2 things;
1. That when people outsource (not just the RAF) they think that they have absolved themselves of any responsibility for the end product (i.e. they just become 'consumers' rather than 'stakeholders')
2. That actually the RAF is so thinly spread that they don't have the amount of suitably qualified/experienced manpower to supervise the contractors anymore. So they have to 'trust' them
The impact of which we can see for ourselves..........
