Hi Eve
Well for me I think NICE has got too tight a hold on the why's and wherefore of peoples treatment.
I don't know how many are on the NICE panel nor how much they get paid?? but that must be coming off the central funds, I say let our Dr's and Consultants say what treatment is best for us.

Sorry in delay in reply :-0
I think my wait was because my Dr missed me and sent another patient when it should have been me (he got told off though 😛 )then I had to wait for a bed to be free at Hull, as you know it all worked and am still kicking though not as hard 😎
God Luck with all yours.
