The Most Common Form of Service Delivery Is Via Government

The most common form of service delivery is via government employees. It is this approach that has created bureaucracies at the national, regional, and, in some cases, local level. All of the following given below are some of the advantages of direct delivery of services by government employees EXCEPT:

A) Existing government employees might be expected to have a more thorough understanding of program objectives than a private-sector contractor hired for a one-year contract.
B) Often viewed as a more economical approach (for example, a new program is assigned to existing staff and indirect costs are not included in the analysis) .
C) Increased lead time for deployment of new programs as internal staff resources are allocated among current and proposed programs.
D) Existing government employees might be expected to have increased knowledge of government regulations and requirements and the environment surrounding the program.
