[QUOTE="leahkian, post: 1631438, member: 32193"] I like to see the different points of view that you all have made but here is something that i do not understand. In april 2015 i had a SPK transplant which went well but also showed how much damage the diabetes had caused. Now after my transplant i was told that i would have to pay for my anti-rejection drugs as they are not classed as life saving drugs, so if i could not afford the drugs then my transplant would have been for nothing. As it is my children live with me and i get them free for now. I know the NHS needs more money and a 1p tax rise which could go to the NHS would be a start but we also need nursing homes for older people. The opt out policy i agree with but then more beds, nurses, consultants and other health people would be needed but if there are no beds or not enough staff then organs will be wasted. When i was on the transplant ward most night there would be 1 nurses and 2 HCA, now most people have had transplants or are very ill and need constant care. If a organ was found through the night then these 3 staff were suppose to cope, the day before my transplant i needed a ECG but there was not enough staff so i walked up myself and took the results back. I am not saying that all public sector workers do not deserve a pay rise but Mrs May said there was no money tree until her job was on the line and she found a billion pound to keep herself in a job.
