Southampton?s two Labour MPs say the city?s residents are ?missing out on essential treatment?, and increasing numbers of patients are ?denied GP referrals for procedures previously accessible on the NHS?.
MPs Alan Whitehead and John Denham are calling on the government to intervene to stop what they describe as ?cost-based rationing?. They cite cataract operations as an example.
The Royal National Institute of Blind People (RNIB) also claims there?s wide variation in both waiting times and assessment criteria for cataract operations across England, which it says puts people at risk.
