Advantages of state sector

Question 1

State has financial resources to provide welfare for whole country

Answer 1

Government provides the Welfare State with secure funding as there is little  chance of state welfare services going bankrupt as the government can simply raise taxes or borrow money to provide welfare for those in need. 
This means that the government is able to provide comprehensive welfare as it has the ability to provide welfare to every part of the country giving all people equal access regardless of where they live eg urban and rural areas. 
As people do not have to pay directly for its services, state welfare is also egalitarian, as all people are given equal access to welfare regardless of their social class or income.

Question 2

The state provides high quality welfare with professional standards

Answer 2

Government can insist that only those who have received training and who have professional qualifications can work for the Welfare State. This helps to ensure high quality welfare provision.

Moreover, the government can provide high standards of welfare as it can carry out regular inspections of welfare services in places such as hospitals, schools and care homes. These government inspections operate in a legal framework and ensure services are regulated and accountable to a government minister in Parliament. This level of scrutiny is said to ensure the provision of high quality care.
