Here's another story of how wonderful it is to have government in charge of health care.
Until a few years ago, all women in the UK were offered regular screening for cervical cancer from the age of 20; then in 2004 the screening age in England was raised to 25 (it remains at 20 in Scotland and Wales).
...which is unfortunate for the young women who are dying of cervical cancer because they couldn't get pap smears even though they wanted them!
According to Professor David Luesley, adviser to the NHS Screening Programme, 'The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the very few.' Wonderful.
