I will then produce a comprehensive description of the planning of services and finally give a comprehensive explanation of the influence of national and local standards, targets and objectives on the planning and provision of services.

The government did not want to raise taxes therefore it turned to the idea of ‘market forces’. Markets are all about buying and selling of
