Abstract

This chapter considers four kinds of public expenditure, namely education which was partly delivered by local government and partly by central government, health services which were also delivered through both central government and by local agencies, welfare expenditure which has been delivered exclusively by central government since the introduction of the reforms proposed by the Beveridge Report in 1948, and Social Security which was introduced in its present form in the 1950s. Each of these public services is delivered to individuals rather than to groups such as households. Their growth from the late 1930s until the early years of the new millennium are shown in Figure 8.1.
