I am 5 years of retirement amd through out my life l have paid my taxes and National Insurance to insure that my life is worth survival, so why is it if l become ill, would not be able to get the drugs l need to survive, as the NHS cannot afford the drug.

We have heard today that a drug costing approx under a pound is going to be used for a certain illness, would not put a strain on the NHS.

The cost of a life is paramount, therefore the NHS should provide that drug, no matter what the cost, we have already heard that another drug that prolong life is too expensive to buy. WHY isn't life important, and we are paying for that drug via Insurance, there is something wrong somewhere.
