Our thanks to Jeff for this. Outrageous.
There’s no national screening programme for prostate cancer, and now men with prostate cancer in England and Northern Ireland are denied an inexpensive drug on the NHS. It hardly need be said that the NHS would pay for the drug if it were for treating a female-specific cancer. Or that more men die of prostate cancer than women die of breast cancer. Or that men on average die years earlier than women. Or that the taxes which fund the NHS come mostly from men, not women. Two-tier healthcare at its most stark.
