Larger breasts on NHS for would-be model

A woman aged 22 has been allowed a £4,800 breast augmentation operation on the NHS so that she can become a glamour model.



Josie Cunningham argued that her flat chest left her emotionally distressed and that she needed the operation on mental health grounds.



Miss Cunningham, of Leeds, who works in telesales said she wanted to be “the next Katie Price” a reference to the former glamour model also known as Jordan.



She had implant surgery at St James’s Hospital, Leeds, in January after telling her doctor that being flat-chested was causing her distress.



“My GP referred me for the operation because I wasn’t just flat-chested — I didn’t have any boobs whatsoever, she told The Sun newspaper.



“I could never go on holiday as I lived in terror of ever being seen in a bikini and could never set foot outside without a padded bra.



“The doctors said they’d never seen anything like it and believed me when I burst into tears and told them it was ruining my life.”



Miss Cunningham has had her breasts enlarged from 32A to 36DD and claimed doctors told her she actually had zero breast tissue.



“I want the world to see the new me and want money and fame just like Katie — and my new boobs can make it all happen.”



However critics condemned the expensive operation saying the NHS could ill afford it in a time of austerity.



Matthew Sinclair, of the TaxPayers’ Alliance, said: “This is a waste of NHS cash and taxpayers will be stunned that they have been landed with the bill.

Do you think the NHS should have paid for this? Why or why not?

My first reaction would be no, of course not.



But honestly, if she was depressed because of her small bust size (which I wouldn't consider too far fetched), they would've been right to pay for this. Mental healthcare is far more important than just physical healthcare.

Having said that, prove it. Prove the necessity.

She gave an interview in a newspaper saying she's going to flaunt her tits and be the next Katie Price.



I have to pay for medication which, without it, I'd suffer quite bad pain and medical issues, many of which arise from a disorder that is terminal. This bitch gets a free boob job because d'aww I'm depressed bawwwwww help me bawwww

Isn't that the sort of attitude you'd expect from someone that insecure?

If a male was depressed because he had a small penis, would they pay for a penis enhancement? Oh, let me add..he's was to be the next Long Dong Silver.
