Depends on the person, doesn't it?

Any time people fuck up in public jobs it's "oh under funded"

Fuck ups or Daniel pelka, under funded. People doing nothing about nonce gangs, not enough funding.

It's the instant go to for some on here.

But there being failings and things not having enough funding are not mutually exclusive.

Just because there are instances of terrible failings doesn't mean that aren't other preventable instances where not enough has been done that could if more funding had been available.

Or is it better that along with those terrible failings we add more to the list that are literally down to not enough funding and manpower cos we just want to automatically blame people not doing their jobs properly.

We've literally got someone on here telling you the difference it makes when their partner's department was basically disbanded because of 'inefficiency' and then a terrible incident that was being prevented before happened not long after the change. And they tried to blame the department for not doing their job properly.

As for you response of you'd just not bother and claim underfunding, that says more about your attitude than those that actually do it. Most are very conscientious people working really hard trying to make a difference with ever increasing workloads and less resources.

Daniel Pelka was failed by multiple organisations, multiple individuals didn't do their jobs properly.

It's hard to claim under funding when he's actually been under their noses, it's not like he was stuck on a waiting list because of lack of staff.

So yeah, multiple people didn't do their jobs properly.

But not the only case. There are lots of people requiring services that are stuck on a waiting list because there just aren't enough people.

I used to work with someone who left to become a carer for the elderly. She had about 15minutes with each client - nowhere near enough. She left after about two months cos it was just unbearable.
