No cost, still done on the NHS funding.
I think Tpin 's point was that many other ops in the private sector are paid for and therefore the surgeons are occupied by those paying for the private service.

We are on the cusp of three authorities usually gp gives a choice as to which hospital we go to because same surgeons often have clinics at each ones on different days.A and E at Guildford is safest, but out patient care at chertsey is best. We tend to go where we find its best.

When i see young mothers wreathing their children's heads in cancerous smoke i want to give them a good smack.
The real problem is that we all eat too much and do too little... so the carbohydrates we eat turn to fat rather than being used for energy.
Levels of carbs are listed on nearly all foods containing them, so we need to work out how much we need per day and eat no more.....well controlled diabetics do this every day.
Fats provide the good flavours in our foods but are high in calories so make you put on weight. Animal fats also fur up your arteries and form clots of blood... which can kill you if they reach your heart.
The best way to prevent lots of health problems is to not criticize what we eat but give info on how much of it to eat! Measured calories can help us do this.
I also try to not eat many processed foods and cook from fresh...... at least then you have some idea of what you are eating.
