I'm puzzled as to why this is not being offered to patients in the UK.

Is there any explanation from the NHS (i.e. a health/side effect concern) or is it likely just a cost issue?
 
Yes, I've seen that link and understand that it's not been approved but don't understand why - it's been YEARS since it was first available in the US. Are UK clinical trials really still ongoing?
