I concur with my learned colleagues.
Not available on the NHS around here either.

Aye, you'd be pushing it to get these removed on the NHS hereabouts too. Apparently it's because they just grow back bigger if you take them out, and nothing to do with money.

We can do them once your foot has gone proper manky ( I believe that is the phrase that the PCT uses).

Maybe the high failure/recurrence rate is because they used to let the houseman take them out. I used to love stripping veins.

Luxury. You must live in a Tory PCT, or something.
I wonder how CCGs will view this.

He done marvellous with his weight loss, won slimming world man of the year and all that jazz, is a demon runner now, smashed my ultra last year and will hopefully do the same again this year :-)

I thought the pics would be much worse (not suggesting you attempt to show any worse ones)
