Funnily enough, when I worked for Auntie Beeb we had lots of layers of management, and some terrible planning... 

In order to save money, they'd make craft staff (i.e. those who edited, or dubbed, or recorded pix/sound) redundant, but keep the layers of management.

Then the programmes themselves (as everything in the beeb was separate within the internal market) would hire those same craft folks to do the work for them. It would cost the programme makers the same, the editor/mixer etc would get paid more because more of the money went to them, and the resources dept who'd made the craft person redundant would save the wages of that person, but lose the far bigger amount of money that hiring them out would bring in.

So Resources would lose money, and would eventually only exist in order to hire in staff. Which would mean that all the lower tiers of management would also be made redundant and upper management would be congratulated for reducing the amount of staff (though programme budgets went up as the supply of BBC trained folks became more in demand, what with BBC training also disappearing).

I suspect a similar thing is happening in the NHS!

Ah the glorious Beeb. Just as technology and broadcasting were at the point of convergence with end to end digital production a hairs breadth away they go and outsource their entire technology division and keep a load of analogue broadcast engineers in house. Genius.
