This change is an absolute joke, clearly made by the privileged few who probably claim more in expenses that this farce would save.

yet again decisions made by people that don't understand what people go through when they are diagnosed and treated for cancer. This is disgusting.

I know so many of these wonderfully strong and resilient ladies who have enough to cope with in their diagnosis and treatment and impact on family besides worrying about finances too!!

It is outrageous to charge women with cancer for their breast prostheses, mastectomy bras+ wigs. Shame on you Simon!! You will hever need this ital service but a loved one might! Beware. Mona

Fantastic news. Minister Simon Harris has stated that 'the move will be stopped'. The policy is not going ahead. Thank you to everyone who signed this petition. We sent it to him yesterday when it passed the 1000 signature mark. We hope it helped in making a difference. Valerie x

This is awful to make a woman pay for something that can make them feel like a woman again!! Simon Harris and his government should hang their heads in shame!!

The inability of those who have not experienced breast cancer to recognize the angst in not only having the cancer but to realize there are those in the insurance industry working to dimilnish their costs with absolutely no compassion toward the human element involved.

Please, please reconsider these cuts. To have such an illness is bad enough but do not cut back on what is an essential part of their recovery.
