Mycancerdrugs offers insurance for expensive cancer treatment
Friday, 04 May 2007 12:01
Mycancerdrugs is a new type of NHS top-up insurance that allows you to get expensive drugs that are not automatically available on the NHS.
"Cancer is no longer an inevitable death-sentence," said Julian Stainton, of WPA.
"Recent and dramatic advances in medical technology make treatments ever more effective. Mycancerdrugs helps fund the cost of such advanced drugs where the NHS denies their use.
"It is now time for this sort of top-up insurance to be available to the public."
Rod Bramston, managing director of WPA Private Clients, added: "Mycancerdrugs sustains our 100 year (pre NHS) heritage as a not-for-profit Contributory Fund where UK workers contributed their hard earned wages into a fund that covered the cost of their healthcare.
"As a social enterprise we are now providing a top-up cover that will help people fund a gap in cancer drug availability within the NHS.
"Customers who are diagnosed with cancer will no longer have to wait for NICE to approve any licensed drugs that their cancer specialist would like to prescribe."
