Yes I read about this too, it seems they have been charging vast amounts of money to test people, hopefully this will now change and open testing to more people.

It is what worries me about privatised health! Puts decisions on tests, treatments etc in the hands of accountants and our genes become property and are sold to the highest bidder. My body goes to Leeds Uni for research and education! I hate wasting resources! My kids can do whatever they want to mark my passage but my body is not to be wasted! It might help someone else with this awful condition!

I do so hate waste!

You are setting a brilliant example

Totally agree with everything you say. The goal of privatised health is to make money.
