Being honest I think alot of people are taking the pi$$ out of the NHS with silly stupid operations anyway, I worked with a guy who had maasive ear peircings (I don't know the name for it) when I asked if he might regret it later on he said sure when I get bored with it I'll just get the NHS to operate on them and shoe them back up again, me personally I don't see why the NHS should have to do things like that.
It's ***** like these and little petty things like boob jobs that spoils it for the genuine cases.

Hmmm. Not enough information in that story to actually decide on the pros and cons. However, one way to rein in the NHS bill is to define a whole list of things that will no longer be handled by them. I have no idea of the total cost to the NHS of these procedures/operations but, for example, no more tattoo removals - you paid to have it - you take the consequences! No more sex-change ops- you want to have your d!ck or breasts removed you pay for it. etc etc

altho im in complete agreement, paying for self inflicted minor issues , would put off all the spongers
just where does the line get drawn? , all alchohol related diseases are self inflicted, drug issues, smoking, lack of excersise, incorrect diets are all self inflicted conditions.

total agremeent tony
we all pay , well mostly lol taxes and national insurance, so imo are entitled to a certain standard of healthcare which i think is very very important to keep.
but i think to a certain degree it should be personal risk assessed - how it would work ive no idea.

If it is an operation purely for cosmetic reasons then it is fair for the patient to pay for it of course.
Anything for medical reasons should of course be free of charge.
