WHEN public services are cut, the pain tends to be borne by people who already have enough to put up with.
Kevin O’Donnell and his one-year-old son Philip both suffer from a potentially fatal enlargement of the heart. Philip’s mum Katerzyna has had chemotherapy.

Dorset County Council argues the nursery is losing money. It clearly knows the price of the service, but does the council really understand its value?
