Welfare State was designed to defeat 5 giants:
1.Want - national insurance
2.Disease - NHSIgnorance - state education
3.Idleness - Keynsianism
4.Squalor - public housing

But the design of the welfare state has at least 5 flaws:
1.Centralised
2.Elitist
3.BureaucraticInjustice

1.Professionalisation
2.Privatisation
3.Commissioning
4.Regulation
5.Further centralisation
