A J W Taylor, of Newton Abbot, writes: After watching the TV news today with the report that some people with bowel cancer will not be given the drugs to help them, on the NHS, I would like to ask any MP or member of the council etc to tell me why our hospitals have to work to a budget, balance the books, etc, when the amount of taxpayers' money is unlimited when it comes to the money we give to the EU or the money it costs sending our forces to Iraq, Afghanistan etc. We never hear that these things are over budget. I read in your paper a comment by David Challice (UKIP) that we pay £39 million every single day to the EU. Further on, I read that £1,900 million of our money was paid to subsidise a failed continental tobacco crop. This also would be better spent on our own NHS for the benefit of our own people. When we hear of our local hospitals being £10, £20, £30 million over budget, this is a drop in the ocean in comparison with what is being wasted
