[QUOTE="AlexMBrennan, post: 633745, member: 82151"] You are welcome to do that, but I won't be signing it as I think it would be a terrible idea to introduce legislation to bypass the existing model - if the new device is cheaper and better than existing test strips, then you don't need new legislation and if it isn't it basically comes down to taking cancer drugs away from a child so you don't have to prick your finger - unless you'd like to pay more taxes); essentially, you'd replace a somewhat rational model of deciding what drugs the NHS's finite budget should be spent on with a popularity content (are you suffering from an obscure disease? well, too bad because you won't get the 100k signatures needed to get the NHS to pay for it) [/QUOTE]
