National Lottery could help fund essential medicines

A LOT has appeared in the Daily Express about essential drugs being withheld from patients in order to save money. This policy is an absolute scandal.

I suggest that a drug fund is set up, financed by the National Lottery, which is supposed to help good causes. What better cause than saving lives and easing suffering? Why not allocate £1million each week to a ring-fenced fund managed by a special panel of senior doctors?
