| 1374242 | 2014-05-06 12:09:00 | Think I shall wait for some facts before getting upset about that. It looks too much like someone playing politics with rumor and induendo at the moment. No politician is stupid enough to introduce a policy like that particularly in an election year. | CliveM (6007) | ||
| 1374243 | 2014-05-06 13:48:00 | To the best of my knowledge Beetle, the laboratory screening costs - which is by far the biggest expense - has never been charged to a patient. Seeing a doctor to get a smear usually means an appointment fee but that's reasonable - the doctor has to eat. Some health boards pay the fee so the consult is free in some areas. There are tv adverts encouraging women to get smears so it would be surprising if this was dropped. On the other hand there is research which suggests smear tests are ineffective in actually detecting ovarian cancer. |

No politician is stupid enough to introduce a policy like that particularly in an election year. Re inuendo; Italian suppositories are not on the free list. Sadly, assuming there is a limit to the stupidity of some politicians is not supported by history or current events. |
