A London grandmother who has battled breast cancer for over a decade is facing the prospect of having to uproot her life and move more than 300 miles to Scotland to access a pioneering drug on the NHS.

Beverley Angell, 68, from Fulham, explained that an “unfair postcode lottery” has meant the drug, which costs £8,000 per session privately, is only available on the NHS in Scotland.

The NHS generally doesn't like Pioneering drugs. They want ones with a long track record of working. Her age could also be a factor, they have a limited budget and thats a lot of money to give an old woman a few more years. Finally England, Wales, and Scotland all have a separate version of the NHS, so its more a country difference than a postcode lottery, this story is a good example of why we need a more joined up approach.

That’s really unfair. Healthcare shouldn’t depend on where you live—everyone deserves equal access to treatment...🤍

It's a very sad story, and it's not fair at all.
