So regarding these French PIP breast implants. (the ones which are popping and leaking...)
The women involved seem to think that the NHS should pick up the tab for them to have them removed.
Why? I don't see any reason on earth why the NHS should fund them. If someone is unhappy with their appearance, like they hate their nose or teeth OR their boobs, and they pay ÂĢ3K, or ÂĢ5K or whatever else to have them fixed/replaced, and the surgery/procedure screws up for some reason, there's no way the NHS pay for it IMO... At the end of the day, it's pure vanity, and not a necessary health issue... There's one or two things about me I would like to be slightly different, but I would never have surgery for them, and if I did, I wouldn't expect someone else to fund me, or fix it if it went wrong.
Opinions? Do YOU think the NHS should pay for the women who had them done, to have them removed (and even replaced?) And if you think they should have the NHS pay, why do you think this?
(I am talking about the ones who had them done for personal reasons and vanity, not the women who had them because they lost part - or all - of their breast(s) through cancer... they should be entitled of course...)
