Rejected petition give our cancer patients all the drugs they need before sending aid abroad

More details

Cancer patients are being refused vital drugs which would help them recover because of the cost even though the Government can always find the money to send aid abroad.

The government should be looking after its own and fund all drugs necessary to help cancer patients no matter what the cost might be. This should be a number one priority before it even thinks about sending aid abroad. The money in any event is what us taxpayers have paid.
