To be fair, the Government (MP's) did not award themselves a pay rise. The award was made by an independent body and some MP's decided to donate the increase to charity. But I certainly agree that UK Governments have supported some dodgy Governments.

Update to my earlier replies in case it's useful:

First treatment cost £2450. Assuming the same for each cycle, that's a little bit under £15000. Onco's charges take it slightly over.


MP has received replies from: (paraphrased)

Local trust - No

NHS England - No, but under review (i.e. no longer on-hold) following CHAARTED publication and STAMPEDE.

Sec of State for Health - Nothing to stop Trust funding if it wishes.

Oh and I've been mentioned in Hansard :) Sec of State looking into it...
