\\\She was probably refused this surgery on the NHS because the other treatments had not been attempted. \\\
You think that the surgeon "bypassed" all the simpler procedures and embarked upon this major operation?
Why should he? He want get paid any extra money.
Things obviously have changed in the NHS as i would have just have admitted her and got on with the job.....nothing to do with bloody administrators.

Can't answer this one, sqad, unless the patient is the victim of the postcode lottery - some Trusts can afford to/have contracted for certain procedures, othes have differing priorities. I believe that requests for exceptional treatment are considered at local level, with clinical evidence being taken into account. It doesn't seem consistent - someone is funded to go to the US for a treatment, someone with a different condition, who seems equally urgent, isn't.
Here we are - the funding was declined at central level, by NICE, because there's no evidence (or wasn't) that the operation meets acceptable clinical standards, because there's not been enough research previously to prove this operation works.

Errrrm.....
The way it's been described to me, hospital Trusts these days can only undertake procedures which they've been commissioned to deliver. So I commision 6 hip ops, the hospital delivers 6 hip ops. If they operate 7 times, they're overspent on the hip op budget, and are penalised in next year's budget.

\\\\\That's how much the op would cost the NHS, I guess, in terms of medical and clinical hours, accommodation, disposables - et al.\\\
[email protected] bill at the end of the month to the trust would be exactly the same.
Instead of 6 hips being paid for, there would be one spinal procedure....the cost would be the same.

the Fenchay Hospital in Bristol specialises in this operation. It is 35 miles from the little girl's home.

They do this operation on the NHS.
Normally, other treatments are tried first before resorting to this new surgery.
