Maybe I am being naive then. I am not on a lot of money. Probably about 12 grand a year after tax but from the tax that I pay I hope when I am older that I have a good healthcare in case anything goes wrong with me.

It does seem to be a bit of a lottery depending on where you live. Ideally, we should all be able to expect consistency in standards of care but sadly that isn't the case. I think it is down to how the individual health authorities allocate their budgets - I think the control should be handed back to central Government to ensure there are minimum standards of care across all health authorities and equality for all in terms of access to treatments and medication across the UK. Currently that is not the case.
