Saving NHS funds
40 Answers
OK, so the NHS will be cripplingly short of money in a few years.
Let's look where we can save some.
I'll start.
No boob jobs on the NHS
No gastric bands funded by us
No IVF treatment on the NHS.
Do you agree?

My died at home and the police had to come and check that it wasn't a suspicious death.
The policeman had to get details of medication that my dad took in case it was relevant.
We opened the cupboard that he kept his medicine in and there were so many unopened drugs that it looked like a chemist's shop.
I understand (and maybe even agree with) why they can't take back drugs and reissue them but surely they could do something with them and not just destroy them.
I used to pay about �100 per year towards my prescriptions by buying a prepayment certificate. Then it was decided to reduce the cost and then finally reduce it to zero. (Scotland).
Everybody is happy about this - but the money for the NHS has to come from somewhere. If we don't pay for prescriptions we will have to pay in some other way.

No treatment.
Ha ha ha ...
Look, I'm joking, of course (although I wonder if the irony has been lost).
My point is, that different types of treatment have different degrees of importance for different people.
It's hard to start applying value judgments ... otherwise, where do you stop?
If you say No boob jobs, No gastric bands, and No IVF treatment, then the anti smoking lobby will start to say No cancer treatment. Then the vegetarians will say No heart operations for the fatty food people.
It will go on and on.
