Kidney dialysis no longer a prescribed service on the NHS from next year

NHS safe in Tory hands?

"At a meeting in the Department of Health this week, kidney charities were stunned to be told that kidney dialysis was no longer to be a prescribed service and a period of consultation of six weeks would be held by the Department of Health."

A total disgrace, how will some people be expected to pay for it ?
Perhaps another reason to have an 'opt out of' organ donor scheme, rather than the 'opt into' one we have.
Or can that be now seen as giving ourselves away to allow privatisation of the NHS  :(

Seems it's going to be put in the hands of clinical commissioning groups which are sort of a replacement for PCTs. That would indicate that there will be an NHS provision but by a different arm. Might mean provision will be different depending on where you live
