I SEE from a recent story that money seems more important than trying to save human life when a former nurse cancer sufferer from Darlington cannot have a cancer operation in France because of the NHS denying funding for this life-extending treatment (Echo, Jan 5).

This Government of ours is at present spending millions of pounds in helping other countries out when our own country needs this same money spending on us for a change.
