It's not for stuffing silicone into your boobs. If you want to do that, pay for it yourself. And if it goes wrong, don't expect the taxpayer to fund new ones!
The Government is spot-on to say the NHS will fund the removal of dodgy French implants if they represent a danger to health....which apparently they might. But that we will not fund cosmetic, vanity surgery which there is no medical need for.
My brother is a doctor and he has signed off female patients for breast augmentations on the NHS - but they had to convince him that they had a psychological need in some way. The example he gave me was of one lady who was too ashamed (apparently) to let her husband see her naked. Well, fair enough. Maybe.
For everyone else, pay for new ones yourself. You make your bed, you lie on it!
Awesome result! That is what the NHS plastic surgeons should be spending their time on instead of girls with self image issues looking to get breast enlargement on the NHS. Patients with genuine disfigurements should be treated first.
