 That's what they're trying to do now. If you are ill because of your own habits, then the NHS will treat you, but they are looking at having the patients sign for want of a better word a contract to say that they will diet/give up smoking/take more exercise etc, in return for their treatment. This is not up and running yet, but was on the news a few weeks ago. It will mainly affect GP's but they have to try and get across that treatment could be withdrawn if the patient does not comply.
