Although Britain has such a range of services to promote social welfare, it is recognised that the task is never completed. Some problems remain to be solved and new ones are constantly emerging. Economic conditions can retard or facilitate expansion and improvement of the services and the very successes achieved in preserving life and raising standards lead to further pressures on health, housing, education and other services. Argument and discussion continue as to what are the best ways of organising and financing the services described in this pamphlet, and how they need to be adapted to meet the developing needs of the people of Britain.
