Also in bureaucracies it often simply a matter of shifting the costs off your desk. It doesn't matter if the nett result to society as a whole is greater, it's no longer being paid by your department and you have achieved considerable cost-savings within your department. Well done!

Of course this means that [eventually] someone else will have to to pick up the slack, but that's not your problem. Or it gets placed back on your desk and you claim you don't have the funding for it, so you will need supplemental grants to administer the scheme.

Indeed - this is how we can spend more and more on healthcare, because running down preventative, early intervention, and/or GP care saves money in the short term, and we can watch the soaring cost of secondary care. (See also; cutting social care budget for similar consequences... and cutting Sure Start...)

It's really really depressing.
