THE NEED FOR AN ENGLISH PARLIAMENT

PRESS RELEASE

THE PRICE OF AN ENGLISH LIFE?

When Ann Marie Rogers of swindon lost her legal challenge earlier this week for her breast cancer to be treated with Herceptin she became the latest victim of Labour's partial National devolution which gave democratic national assemblies only to Scotland, Wales and Ulster but gave no democratic National Forum to England.

As the Scotsman reported on Friday 17th February 2006 "A breakthrough Cancer drug which was controversially denied to women in England is being routinely prescribed in Scotland". The Scotsman - Scots get breast cancer 'wonder drug'.

The reason for Herceptin being refused in England is its c.£20,000pa cost but in Scotland the Barnett Formula provides about a third extra subsidy from English Tax payers, which means that there is plenty of money available in Scotland's national health service.

For Mrs Rogers the answer is:- to move to Scotland; for England the answer is:- a fair Constitutional Settlement.
