NHS accused of 'culling the sick' as free transport to dialysis stopped The NHS has been accused of “cullling the sick” after drawing up plans to stop funding transport for dialysis patients.
Under the rationing proposals, patients with kidney failure living in rural areas will be expected to make their own way to treatment, which some say will cost them hundreds of pounds in buses and taxis.
Charities described the plans as “outrageous” - and said they were “extremely worried” that patients - especially the elderly and vulnerable - would die as a result of the changes, planned across the NHS in Cornwall. The Daily Telegraph
