You are talking here about prioritisation, allocation of resources at a
specific health care area which reflects the needs of your population. No
problem
I'm talking about the non availability of procedures. Rationing. IVF, VV's,
D&Cs, some drugs e.g. Taxol?
Watchdog would love it, IVF available in Thanet but over the Wantsum (*very*
little river) not available.
Little Johnny can have his 2nd marrow transplant if he lives in Canterbury
but in Dover no way!
This should be nationally discussed by the nation. Do it any way other and
you
will be crucified sooner or later.
Oh and BTW I vote YES for National Ballot on PCG!
