'Top up' ban lifted

Thank goodness the Government has announced that people will not be penalised for choosing to buy drugs that are not available on the cough NATIONAL cough Health Service. If those suffering with illnesses can afford to buy the life-extending drugs, then of course they should be allowed to do so without losing the right to free NHS care - we all pay taxes after all. The Government needs to work extremely hard to make more drugs available on the NHS especially during the current economic downturn, and for all those who simply cannot afford private treatments.
