[FONT=&quot]Survey of doctors reveals concern about adults and children being denied treatment, resulting in emergency care or worsening of long-term conditions


Patients are being denied mental health care, new hips and knees, and drugs to boost their recovery from illnesses including cancer as the NHS increasingly rations treatments to try to overcome its growing cash crisis.
A survey of doctors reveals that three-quarters said they had seen care rationed in their area over the last year – including treatments such as speech therapy, operations to remove varicose veins, Botox to help children with cerebral palsy move better and even potentially life-saving stem cell transplant surgery.

Disabled children were having to use ill-fitting wheelchairs, teenage girls were banned from accessing medication to tackle male-style hair growth and women had been unable to access surgery to have breast enlargements or reductions as a result of growing restrictions across England, the research concluded.
Medical organisations said the findings showed patients were paying the price because an underfunded NHS was having to force them to wait for care or deny it altogether.

Dr Mark Porter, leader of the British Medical Association, said: “The NHS is being forced to choose between which patients to treat, with some facing delays in treatment and others being denied some treatments entirely. This survey lays bare the extreme pressure across the system and the distress caused to patients as a result.”
Almost four in five (78%) of the 749 doctors in England who took part in the survey – conducted for the Guardian by Binley’s OnMedica, a healthcare data and intelligence provider – said patients who were denied treatment suffered increased anxiety as a result.
One patient killed himself after experiencing a delay in receiving help with mental health problems. Another doctor told how “several teenage girls with hirsutism [male-style hair growth on the face, chest or back] have experienced severe psychological distress and bullying [after being denied drugs to treat it]. Some have self-harmed and been admitted to hospital as a result”.

Bloody hell, that article is over 3 years old. Do you know that many companies over here offer private healthcare as part of the employment package? Probably not is my guess.

Typical lib mindset, "laws that allow....." How about laws which don't prevent? How about limiting what government can do? You know, like our constitution is supposed to do? I know, foreign concept.

It's none of my business what the UK does with their health care system, but I sure as hell don't want courts in this country making parental decisions. This is a perfect illustration of what happens under socialist regimes.

there are laws in America that could prevent you from taking your child out of the country for unapproved medical care.


did you now that?
 
if you tried to take your little girl out of the country to have an illegal medical procedure the courts could take your child under a protective order to protect your child from child abuse.


should we just let parents deem what is abusive medical hacks procedures?

So, a child is being beaten and malnourished, you don’t want the government to help the child?

What of the child whose parents refuse medical care for a child because of their religious beliefs?
 
A kind and loving god would not have given a baby a degenerative brain condition. What is wrong with god doing that? Enough to make you doubt god exists, isn't it? An innocent baby having that condition. If you are a catholic, he goes to hell if he wasn't baptised. He was born with original sin. This shit is so crazy.

Do you support The Atlantic columnist Kevin Williamson and politicians like him who say hanging is an appropriate penalty for women having abortions?
