- want (poverty)
- idleness (unemployment)
- squalor (poor housing)
- disease (poor health)
- ignorance (ignorance)
- This state system of free welfare services paid for by taxation included the National Health Service (NHS); compulsory state education; social security benefits now known as welfare; social services
- The assumptions and principles made when designing the original model for UK state welfare provision were:
- women would remain housewives and mothers (in other words they would not be going out to work)
- there would be full-employment
- the principle of universal welfare for all
- the principle of free health-care and education for all
