A transsexual from Reading who wanted the NHS to pay for him to have larger breasts has lost his High Court case. The man, known only as C for legal reasons, wanted West Berkshire Primary Care Trust (PCT) to pay £2,300 for the surgery. But today Mr Justice Bean dismissed the case.
Claim. Justice Bean said he had found “that there was no duty in either public law or discrimination law to classify all treatment and procedures sought by transsexuals as high priority or core procedures”.
C claimed he was in physical and psychological “limbo” following hormone treatment he had received to make him look like a woman. The treatment had not developed his breasts as much as he wanted but the PCT refused to fund an operation to increase his breast size.

Should the man/woman have been given larger hooters?
