Heroin on prescription

It is hard to measure media coverage but I think that cancer and diabetes are well covered. Think about the whole story about some cancer drugs being available in Scotland but not England, which have put the NHS under pressure, about the new diabetes drugs being tested and of course the whole obesity coverage, which always lists diabetes and heart disease as a result of it.

Ther are many types of cancer and levels of diabetes that are not brought about by lifestyle choice. My wife is a type 1 diabetic she was born with it. Her parents had to buy syringes until the mid 80's where as drug addicts had been getting them for free from the late 70's, does this seem fair?

Cancer treatments vary from county to county, to determine whether some one gets one type of treatment or another based on their post code is shocking.

I'm all for helping anyone who needs it whatever their circumstances, I just feel that things are done arse about face.
