Who Should We Treat?: Rights, Rationing, and Resources in the NHS
The NHS has undergone substantial reform and investment since 1980, yet demand for care still exceeds supply and difficult choices remain between patients. Why is this so? On what basis should these decisions be made and by whom? As patients become 'consumers' of care, Who Should We Treat? puts patients' rights into their political, economic, and managerial perspectives to consider one of the most pressing problems in contemporary society.

Resolved Question: Finding a NHS number when you don't have a birth certificate from the UK.?
I hold a British Passport although I was born in Canada. I did have an NHS number when I was living in North Wales in 1987-88. I now live in Spain and I was wondering who to contact to find out my old number and if I can still use it. So far the Yahoo answers have told me to look on my birth certificate. Where do I look if a UK birth certificate doesn't exist?

Resolved Question: Starting IVF - need to talk to my boss re time off and feeling a bit panicky about it all, advice needed.?
I'm starting IVF hopefully in January, but I'm starting to panic now as I'll need to talk to my boss. I'm a project manager and have a lot of responsibility. I'm just worried about the implications of having to rush off at a moments notice to the fertility clinic - which will be about an hours drive away - twice a week at very short notice. I could end up taking a lower paid part time position, or even losing my job altogether. I don't know if my partner is prepared for all the consequences. He loves me and has already given up a house and business in Wales to move to Gloucester with me (18 months ago), and I'm now asking him to do this. He feels bad because the infertility problem is most probably his not mine, and he knows how much I want this. He also wants a child himself, he has told me so, so at the moment he is very supportive. I forgot to say - this will be self funded as we aren't eligible for it on the NHS. What happens if we go through 3 cycles - which would pretty much use up all our savings, and we still have no baby? It's all so scary and such big sacrifices have to be made. We are also renting at the moment, so were saving up for a house.

Resolved Question: Medical Negligence - Can any one help please?
My lovely Dad died two years ago and he is still very much missed by me and my two sisters. He was a paraplegic for over 30 years and whilst we believe the hospital were negligent in caring for him, we do also know that Dad was dying anyway.
My Step-mum and my Dad had discussed suing the hospital concerned over a series of blunders but after Dad died my Step-mum has apparently pursued this case against the NHS in Wales on her own.
She now maintains that she has been given an out of court settlement of over £2,000,000 which she has given away to charity as an anonymous donation.
Does anyone know whether a case would be settled out of court for such a huge sum when the hospital should have been able to argue that Dad was dying of kidney failure amongst other things, whether it would be settled so quickly and whether we as Dad's children who have never spoken to anyone over this matter are bound by a 'gagging clause'.
Sorry for rambling but one of my sisters mentioned that she wanted to contact a magazine with a view to publishing a story about Dad's final years and has now been told by my Step-mum that she would sue any of us if we were to do this : (
Sorry but I am completely confused and none of this makes any sense. I would welcome any advice anyone can give please.

Resolved Question: Another ivf question please ?
I may have to have IVF treatment, i do no that when/if it comes to that my gyno will explain everything, but i have some questions.
What actually happens when having it? and what is the % of successful pregnancy's from having it. I have been told i can probably have ivf on the nhs, but if i had to pay for it how much does it cost. I live in Wales i have possible PCOS (showed on scan but not blood test) but have been told apart from that my ovary's look good and so does my womb) I have a dye test in january (my scan showed 2 blocked tubes, but not how blocked). Im just so scared.

Resolved Question: IVF in the uk, i have a question.........?
I am under going fertility tests and i have been told there is a strong chance my tubes are blocked. I have a lap and dye test in january and i will then no for sure.
I have heard some people say they got 3 attempts of ivf for free on the nhs and some only 1 attempt. My gyno has said that i fit the criteria i just need to lose little weight. So i was wondering does the amount you get on the nhs depend on where in the country you live or does it depend on other factors. If so what?
I live in south wales and will be having my treatment if any at Cardiff.

Resolved Question: I have written a speech about Abortions for school, how can it be improved?
I have to perfom a 5 minute speech on a contriversal subject at school, I have chosen to do my speech on abortion. How could it be improved ? Many many thanks in advance :)
Have you ever thought about killing anyone? Taking someone?s life? The life of someone so small they would not even have a say in such a decision. Someone so small they are considered unimportant. Abortion.
Abortion means ending a pregnancy so that it does not result in the birth of a child but no matter how you say it, abortion is taking a life. 190,000 abortions take place in England and Wales every year. That is 190,000 innocent beings destroyed. 190,000 babies, taken away the chance to live a life full of endless opportunities. Each and every child being aborted are priceless. The last child aborted could have dramatically shaped our world, they could have been the next Albert Einstein, Steven Hawkin or Margret Thatcher.
You can terminate a pregnancy at the maximum of 24 weeks. At 5 weeks the baby is about the size of a pen tip and its heart has already started to beat for many people a heart beat is a significant sign of life. At week 6 facial features will begin to appear. At week 11 the baby?s sex is apparent. At 24 weeks the baby?s vital organs are now fully formed and functioning, the child is aware of its mother?s voice and music. It is possible for a baby to survive at younger than 24 weeks. Little Amillia Taylor was born at 22 weeks, 10 ounces. With little assistance from nurses she was able to survive and now leads a normal life. Every day people are aborting foetuses older than Amillia.
To get an abortion two doctors have to agree that it will be suitable for the woman as it can cause physical and mental difficulties. The earlier the woman decides to get an abortion the easier it is to get it free on the NHS but there is an average of 2-4 weeks waiting time on the NHS, it?s also more humane to get the abortion earlier at the foetus won?t be properly developed. If a female decide to get an abortion performed in the first 9 weeks of pregnancy it involves the woman given two pills, one taken orally and once placed inside her. Within four hours that woman will feel as if she is having a painful period. That was her baby. Another abortion method, available up to 13 weeks of pregnancy is having a tube inserted into the womb and the foetus is removed by suction.
There is an endless list of reasons why woman choose to get their pregnancy terminated the most common are the miss-use or lack of contraception, an unwanted pregnancy resulting from rape, incest, or known that a child would be born with severe medical problems or if the birth would result in harming the woman?s health. Zoe Gillard?s now 32 had an abortion fifteen years ago when she was 17. She had a late-term abortion at 21 weeks. It was hugely upsetting for her because she had always been very concienous about contraception. While taking the pill in a relationship with her boyfriend she missed a period and went straight to the doctor to have a pregnancy test. It came back negative and Zoe was very relieved. Her boyfriend went away to university and they decided to split up, she came off the pill but weirdly continued to miss periods. She returned to her doctor who said I had nothing to worry about and was probably due to hormonal changes from coming off the pill. A short while later Zoe did another pregnancy test which came back positive, she later found out she was 18 weeks pregnant. She just started her a-levels and felt it was impossible to raise a child so booked an abortion. While at the clinic the abortion didn?t go to plan, doctors asked whether she could just go through with the pregnancy. They were all quite unpleasant to her and some asked whether she had ever thought about using contraception. Three days later they told her they could try some new drugs if they didn?t work they would have to perform a ceserion. On Saturday the drugs had worked and Zoe hadn?t been told that essential she would give birth. Her waters broke and she had contractions. Eventually the foetus came out and Zoe couldn?t stop screaming. They aneithised her and took her away to remove the placenta. When she woke up she was in a bed full of blood.
