Charlie C. replied:
Donna, unfortunately the 1948 NHS Act forbids the NHS from charging patients for treatment. Hence as a NHS Consultant, I am not allowed to replace implants after PIP removal. This problem with ‘top-ups’ came to head a few years ago, when people were mortgaging their houses to buy expensive cancer drugs (£30 k plus), like herceptin. The only way round that particular problem was to let people have their NHS chemotherapy in the NHS unit and then walk out and then into the private chemotherapy unit for the extra drug. Sadly I can’t ask my anaesthetist to wake you up and wheel you into a different private operating theatre and then anaesthetise you again. This is why NHS units, like Whiston, had to stop doing top-up replacements in early 2012. They were breaking the law (1948 NHS Act) and had to stop. I know that sounds crass, but that’s the law of the land.
