Dear all,
In today's BMJ Martin McKee and David Stuckler have a short article giving a succinct outline of how the welfare state in England is currently being eroded. The article misses the devastation underway within local government welfare services, especially in terms of care received at home, where the picture is most depressing of all. But if you're interested in a good snapshot view, which also provides a take on the US (have they got it right on the US?), here's the link.

Happy Christmas,
Tom
