I agree with you but that doesn't explain why,after all the research on efficiency and costs reduction done by NHS, this isn't paid back on a nation wide scale. Leaving the decision up to the CCG's,opens the door to arbitrariness,possibly influenced by Big Pharma's money.
So did Big Tobacco at one time. Not anymore....... Different world now especially with a Global Opioid Pandemic crisis. Plus the rising cost of Health Care !!!!
