As of March 2016 NHS England plan to cut funding for SDR operations entirely. This means that hundreds of children that previously met the already very strict criteria will be forced to fund the operation that is life changing themselves either in the UK or in USA. Costs vary but with aftercare and equipment can be over £70,000. While their should be no price tag to a child's quality of life it seems NHS England believes that it is not money well spent to change a child's life.  We must stop this funding being cut and do everything in our power to convince NHS England that these operations are worthy of their finances. Charities are working tirelessly to help those that dont fit the criteria to get the operation they need and whilst they will help as many children as needed the NHS must change their decision.
