All-purpose partnership jargon

Simon Hoggart has a splendid Parliamentary sketch piece in today's Guardian All-new music brings jargon to the ears reporting Culture Minister Estelle Morris on helping people "access music" through "music partnerships"...

.....which used to mean Gilbert and Sullivan or Lennon and McCartney, but now refers to some new bureaucratic process, which involves "engaging in people with music".
There has to be constant "monitoring", plus "initiatives spread throughout the country", like the "music standards fund" and "organisations such as creative partnerships, properly funded at that point so then they can be rolled out nationally for engaging people in music".

Substitute health, regeneration, education for music and you have the all-purpose New Labour Ministerial policy-generator. As Simon adds:

Don't misunderstand me. I think Estelle is a fine and sincere woman who genuinely believes children should be able to listen to good music, go to art galleries and attend plays.
It's just that under New Labour all those noble ambitions get lost under a slurry of partnerships, stakeholders, initiatives, projects, best practice rollouts and the kind of language which would have had Dr Johnson spitting into his posset.
