The King’s Fund report confirms what we have known for a long time – that governments have become very resistant to funding basic services, resulting in serious harm to their delivery (Decade of neglect means NHS unable to tackle care backlog, report says, 12 December).
The question is why some governments have become so callous, when the damage they were doing to the caring infrastructure of our society was obvious? Why have they given up on the post-second world war dream of creating a better world for all? Part of the reason seems to be that they are driven by the economics of ideology and privilege, not science.
