Answer
The availability of good health and educational facilities extends beyond government spending. People need to be educated enough and aware to understand the importance of health and education. Also, the government needs to monitor the working mechanism of the facilities provided by it. It is important to check corruption and make sure that needy person is getting benefitted and facilities are not exploited.
