<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>NICE have not lived up to their name again having just cut the legs off the introduction of two Bowel Cancer drugs in England and Wales.</p>
<p><i><font size="2"><b>"Charities have criticised a proposal to block the routine NHS use of two drugs for advanced bowel cancer.</b> </font></i></p>
<p><font size="2"><i>The National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (Nice) said there was insufficient evidence to recommend Avastin and Erbitux".</i></font></p>
<p>Read all about it <a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/5262760.stm"><b>HERE</b></a></p>
<p>So now we know,patients in England are just going to <i><b><span>DIE</span></b></i>,thanks to bean counters.</p>
<p>Interestingly,according to the <span><b>BBC</b>,</span><i><font size="2">A similar decision has already been made in <b>Scotland</b></font></i>?.</p>
<p>This isn't  quite that black and white though,because,<i><b>in England</b></i>,those already on the drugs  will  have them stopped,and now only have digging their own grave to look forward too,<i><b>BUT  IN WALES,</b></i>if you are on them<i><b> NOW,</b></i>you will continue to be covered.</p>
<p><b><i>Thanks to devolution</i></b>,the Welsh have the good fortune of being able to decide for themselves many things,<i><b>UNLIKE ENGLAND</b></i>,who has no choice,<i><b>however</b></i>,they don't enjoy anything like the autonomy that the Raj gave their own Country of Scotland.</p>
<p>An example of which is that,prior to the UK Government controlled <b>NICE</b> pulling the carpet from under the <a href="http://www.epolitix.com/EN/News/200608/5cd842b1-d324-4c27-8c1d-492bdfe3f9fa.htm"><b>NHS in Wales</b></a>,<i><b>the Welsh</b></i> had already given the two drugs the <i><b>GREEN LIGHT</b></i>,which you can read <a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/wales/5084700.stm"><b>HERE</b></a></p>
<p>But the Scottish Raj slapped them down and said "<b>NO",</b>which can be read<b> <a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/wales/5268714.stm">HERE</a> </b>so it's six of one and half a dozen of the other,patients in England will just DIE,patients in Wales at least have a lifeline,current patients will live,new ones will,like England,just fill up cemetery's,some choice,<span>as for those in Scotland,my bet is they will get England to pay for it for them via taxes!.</span><b><br />
