The NHS may fund cosmetic surgery in specific cases where it is deemed medically necessary, such as reconstructive procedures following trauma, cancer treatment, or congenital anomalies. In these situations, the surgery can significantly improve a patient's physical health, mental well-being, and quality of life. However, purely aesthetic procedures without a medical justification are typically not covered by the NHS. Decisions are made based on clinical guidelines and the potential benefits to the patient.

Do you not think that the NHS should pay for cosmetic surgery?

I think that there are lots of examples of plastic surgery that the NHS should pay for - for example removal of moles that may become cancerous, breast implants for women who have lost theirs to cancer, labiaplasty for people who have long labia that cause pain, skin grafts for people who have been burned, surgery for people who have been involved in accidents. When it is a health benefit it is important for NHS to support plastic surgery, it's when it is purely about a person wanting to change how they look for vanity sake that NHS shouldn't pay.
