More than 70 per cent of NHS trusts break rules to deny IVF – Part 2

This is a complete scandal.  Infertile people pay just as much tax as anybody else so why are they denied this treatment that  they need through no fault of their own e.g. cancer, cardiac issues etc.  This is the same with breast augmentation.  So many people believe that these are cosmetic procedures they forget that in many cases there are medical issues behind them. Female cancer survivors will be left infertile with holes in their chests because there will be no distinction between cosmetic and medical need when these departments are cut.  What kind of country do we live in where one person's money is valued more than another persons?  The NHS should be funding everything as one never knows when a medical issue may affect them.  Why not raise taxes for the richest people? In these economic times why should some be allowed to amass huge fortunes?  What is even more disgusting is the everyday folk who struggle to get by are being forced to make cut throat decisions to save themselves and effectively not give a toss about others.
