OfficeManager - you are right about successive govts.
Unfortunately no Govt has the real will to resolve the mess we have far too weak. A tax system the most complicated in the world, a benefits system well where do we start, immigration, everything is for sale attitude, property prices out of kilter with reality, & is fueled at the top end by the previous point, public sector pensions = ponzi scheme. As for the NHS we created a market of trusts & CCGs. Well how much did HMG wipe off the debts of acute trusts last year? Complete failure of open market introduced due to a number of reasons including mgmt capability, economic demographics etc. This could have been done a differing way but hey what the heck do I know.
Anyway enough of that.
