How does excessive drugs and alcohol affect recovery, I wonder. Because there is no mention of denying treatment to drunks and junkies.

I think that just goes without saying, I'd say that they already fall under the umbrella of reasons why treatment might be deferred or restricted for non urgent surgery.

Haven't heard a word about treatment being deferred or restricted for anyone except smokers and the obese.

Weren't we talking about minor operations? I wouldn't call a liver transplant minor.

If they don't get major life saving surgery then why would they be offered non urgent treatment?....
