Yesterday I read a report carried by a number of Mainstream media that the NHS is going to fund transgender surgery……yet there was another report that told of something like 40 conditions where medications would no longer be prescribed on the NHS.
Some of these were mild conditions, but some(like constipation….a common side effect of chronic pain meds) have serious impact on the lives of sufferers.

My daughter has had serious life changing surgery as a result of cancer…..she cannot see a doctor….she cannot see her consultant and her six monthly scans have not happened in the last 18 months.

Haven’t they lost the plot a bit here?
Shouldn’t those who are dealing with life threatening illness get treatment promptly?

Six months ago a young male friend had a polyp removed at a colonoscopy…….he had bern told it was nothing to worry about.
Last week he was seen at a meeting with a consultant (and an NHS Lawyer was present) to be told that he has bowel cancer and needs surgery and will very likely need chemo as well.

Yet if you are a man who ‘feels’ they should be female…..then you will get your treatment at no cost!
