But that’s not what the NHS was set up for, next they will, be saying you need to set up social,housing for them etc etc. IVF can be paid for out your own pocket the same with the other stuff, it seems to me that we either pay extra for the nhs to fund these things or we stop doing them. So what do people want? I’m all for an extra 1p on income tax if it means getting in to see a doctor etc when I want but that money should be used onky for nhs, same as road tax should onky be used for our roads.
Thing is, if you take diabetes as an example, it can be pretty much reversed in type 2. Change of diet, lose weight, excerise and the improvement can be dramatic. The issue is the knee jerk reaction to bang someone on metformin. Far too much medication issued and far less other strategies tried first.I think the NHS is starting to realise that instead of being at the crisis end of a persons illness (the expensive end) its best for there to be earlier interventions such as educating people about Obesity / Smoking and drinking.
Same applies for a lot of stuff..... intervene early and it will save you £1000's
and no they wont be setting up social housing for transgenders......we have the homeless to deal with first

People are cunts.Unfortunately there’s a lot of lazy bastards out there who would rather take a pill than excersise and diet and I include my wife in this, it’s like talking to a brick wall, I’ve given up now so when she gets ill or tired and has hypos I have zero sympathy. I see it all the time at work as well, people need to want to help themselves but we make it to easy for them not to, start charging them for medication and they’d soon think twice about it. Christ people won’t even buy smoke alarms for their house because we give them for free and I’m talking about people who are not poor either, we see people who would rather spend £10 on a packet of fags rather than house insurance then when it burns down they are fucked it’s endemic in our society now.
I think you should be allowed it but at your own expense, allow people to buy it after getting a prescription from the doctor, but you must pay for it yourself not the NHS.https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-44507135
Agree or not with 'medical cannabis'?
Personally think it was the correct decision to discontinue it within the NHS as it is a slippery slope, and anything could be prescribed but there should be limits
