Question

Is there any surgery where your expenses can be covered by the government?

Answer

To my knowledge, this is applicable to situations where waiting times for surgery for interventions that qualify for NHS treatment exceed set guidelines, and in this case the option of treatment being carried out privately with government funding becomes valid.
