Doctors push patients to pay £9,000 for non-emergency ops Doctors are recommending NHS patients pay up to £9,000 for non-emergency operations, from earwax removal to hip replacements, to beat waiting times as rationing fears rise.
The controversial move tells doctors to push 'self-pay' options, some of which cost nearly £9,000.
It is said to give GPs 'greater options to discuss with patients' but has sparked criticism from doctors and campaigners who brand the move 'shameless'.
This comes after news last week revealed patients are to be denied cough medicines, migraine pills and heartburn remedies under sweeping NHS rationing plans. The Daily Mail
