About this document

Can Public Services Protect The Vulnerable by Oxfam is a document available to read on EtoBox.

This paper focuses on whether public service provision serves the needs of disadvantaged neighbourhoods in the UK. It summarises evidence from a study of street-cleaning services in the UK, which shows that resource allocation does not always follow needs – even at a time when there was public spending growth and the needs of deprived neighbourhoods were to the fore – and that it can be skewed to better-off areas, making service-provision actually part of the problem for residents in these neighbourhoods.
