NHS, what should and should not be treated.

Presumably he thinks you voted Tory?

He does try hard to think, but he doesn't have all the facts before he opens his sceptic gob.

Typical RW that thinks tattoo removal is routinely provided on the NHS - it isn't but its something your little brain can take a nice big bite and run with. How many tattoo removal procedures have taken place at what cost?

Are you an expert now?

"""More than 2,000 people have been given free laser treatment – courtesy of the taxpayer – in the past four years, described by MPs as a ‘sheer waste’ of scarce NHS funds."""
More sht from GAL.

Poor outcomes for cancer treatment

I’ve had absolute first class service from the NHS for my cancer condition. Can’t praise them highly enough.

 

[Ihavenojob]

But no, lets focus on tattoo removal because we can get all worked up over the 10 people a year that have t done.

Another thick response from Himmy.Why not for once in your lonely little life, read what has been posted. I know you will try and squirm out of it, but where in my post did I say they shouldn't be done ? Read what I wrote, carefully , then come back and tell us all where I said tattoo removal or the other procedures should be banned.

The NHS has made several lifestyle cutbacks and they don't offer cosmetic surgery routinely.. I don't think tattoo removal, boob jobs and that kind of ilk is routinely given, only in exceptional circumstances and only looked at case by case.

Smoking is difficult, as is food - some people have real addictive personalities. Help should be offered, free nicotine, free dietry info classes/sport perhaps? Save a fortune down the line. I think to flat refuse someone for smoking is against what the NHS stood for. It's also pretty impossible to pinpoint all cancers to smoking being the cause 100%.

""""""Figures obtained by The Sun under Freedom of Information laws show 2,016 people had tattoos removed since 2010 at a cost of £330,182. However, the true cost is likely to be much higher, as many trusts did not provide breakdowns of the reasons for laser treatments.""""""...oh dear!..Gal wrong again.

 

[durhamplumber]

Thats the same dumb argument as 'all people on benefits are lazy'.......Its Daily Mail tripe; fodder for RWR.

Not all Notchy...but not zero like you believe

You posted the thread Old Chum.
I used my noddle to realise you posted it, because it was important enough for you to be motivated to do so.

So we can assume you approve of those things being done on the NHS

Lol....where they slipped on the bogbrush and it ended rit up the back passage.

I’ve got a mate who's an ambulance driver. You’d be amazed at what some people put up their bums.

You and all like you who voted and wanted the NHS to be underfunded you should stand by your principles and go to the back of the queue.

the ironic (or sadly funny) fact is that the older people who support the tories keep voting for cuts to public dervices and the NHS; which will shorten their lives ang get them off the electoral roll.

In a few years' time today's younger citizens will elect the government, and will improve public services, workers' rights, and fairer tax, thus improving their lives and their lifespan, and those of their children.

Old tories are themselves hastening that day.

So, where did I say what I would or wouldn't approve of being done ?

Its bugger all

Johnson just spaffed £100m up the wall on a 'get ready for Brexit on the 31st of never' propaganda campaign.

And you are whining about £300k

Another made up number from your crystal ball?

I've got a friend who considered herself quite overweight and tried all kinds of diets to reduce it. Her normal doctor told her she was clinically obese and sent her to a dietician.
During a chat with the dietician she mentioned about a pain she gets after eating even a moderate meal. Dietician referred her for s scan of her stomach area to see if there was something amiss. Lady who did the scan couldn't find anything amiss in said area so asked if she could scan a bit lower down. Friend agreed and was horrified when the radiologist said she was not fat, she had a massive growth on her ovaries! The growth appears to be a fluid filled cyst and pretty certain it is non cancerous but further tests will hopefully confirm this diagnosis. She has gone through hell over the past few years wondering why she was putting on weight but ate moderately and thanks to a curious radiologist now knows the reason.
So, the moral of this story is, just because someone looks overweight don't assume they are always eating junk food/not exercising etc.
