You are right, they are a drop in the ocean. Much more worrying is the cut in the number of drugs that are used to treat cancer patients.
I know that there is a finite amount of money available, but these drugs give people living with cancer more time.
But you see if we divert peoples attention to those stories where people are spending their care budget on stuff that we might think is unreasonable, then we might just miss the story where Cancer drugs are being taken out of use.

One in three people will suffer from cancer in their lifetime...so 33% of the population may not get the drugs that would allow them to live longer.
