Letter to Shropshire MPs re Herceptin

The Daily Mail article on the 9th March concerning the tragic case of Mrs Susan Morgan and the Shropshire NHS Trust’s refusal to finance Herceptin for her is a further illustration of the unfairness of Devolution.

There is now a three tier system now operating in the NHS post Devolution. Scotland of course gets first class treatment, Wales second class and England third, although it is English taxpayers who are providing the extra moneys for the Celtic peripheries.

This particular case is not just an issue for Owen Paterson and his constituent but potentially a problem for all women in Shropshire. I urge you to provide Owen with your full support and to fight for fairness of treatment for everyone within the UK.
