Should the NHS ban boob jobs? Read arguments from both sides of the fence

Health secretary Jeremy Hunt has ordered a crackdown on taxpayer-funded cosmetic surgery such as breast implants, nose jobs and tummy tucks

Boob jobs for free on the NHS could soon be a thing of the past.

Health secretary Jeremy Hunt has ordered a crackdown on taxpayer-funded cosmetic surgery such as breast implants, nose jobs and tummy tucks.

It comes after cases like that of would-be glamour model Josie Cunningham, who had a 5,000 NHS op to boost her breasts from 32A to 36DD.

So, should purely cosmetic ops be banned? A mum and a cosmetic surgeon put both sides of the argument...

I completely agree with this crackdown. The NHS should not be paying for cosmetic surgery.

There are too many sick children and cancer patients who miss out on the treatment they need because the NHS has spent the money on cosmetic surgery.

There are huge groups of people who are being seriously let down.

When my son Bens operation was cancelled we were told the NHS couldnt fund it any more because the money wasnt there.

His SDR spinal surgery costs 20,000 the price of just a few boob jobs on the NHS. And Ben is not the only one to suffer. Five other children we have met are struggling in exactly the same situation as him.
