Except they aren't. They're protecting a subset while moving burdens onto local authorities whose budgets they are continuing to cut aggressively so that they have someone else to blame.
It's part of the reason they don't want a more efficient, integrated health and care system. They'd have to widen the ring fence and either spend more or take some blame for the pain their cuts are causing.
This is also why they are so in favour of elected mayors - gives another level of scapegoat for their own cuts to local authority budgets.
