Some program evaluation questions that could have been addressed using systemic data collection
  include:
 
  a) How many legislators supported this privatization and how many opposed it? Was there enough
  media attention on this proposed change? Was there a period of pubic comment?
  b) Were lobbyists used in the most effective way possible to get this change approved? Were
  outreach networks used effectively for reaching the target population? Did the target populaton
  increase or decrease with the privitization?
  c) Were costs reduced? Is the new system more efficient than the previous system? Were there
  unintended consequences?
  d) Was the private company's staff properly trained to navigate the system? Was the correct
  technology in place to support the new system and new demands? What was staff turnover during
  the implementation process?
