Really? why? I don't quite understand this point. Why are they less responsible or accountable than private firms? Surely a structure and a culture for this could be put in place?

Why is this any less true with employees in a private company? There are still promotions etc and while there may be fewer redundancies etc this is more a problem with the culture than anything inherent to public companies.

Why would this actually matter? Why would competition actually make you any more efficient if your only goal was maximum efficiency/service in the first place? All competition accomplishes is the driving down of profits per customer in an attempt to gain more customers but in a system where you don't seek profit it's needless.
