You spend a small fortune on preventing disease, so you get cut back as nothing happens, only to find out that you end up costing a fortune putting things right once they've gone wrong. 
Examples outside healthcare, schools and RAAC, potholes in roads and resurfacing roads, Vapes, climate change and petroleum.
