SIR - Devolution continues to favour Scotland, witness access to care homes for pensioners on favourable terms, and just announced, treatment, via the NHS, for sufferers of macular degeneration (impending blindness).
As a victim of this disease myself, and one who has had a failed cataract operation at the Bradford Royal Infirmary, I feel particularly upset and very annoyed at this blatant discrimination.
As a fellow-sufferer, Mrs Alice Mahon (former MP for Halifax) asks: "who are these people who decide the demarcation lines, and what qualifications have they to do so?"
Incidentally as an 85-year-old veteran, I must ask why the surgeons are so silent about this matter?
