On the face of it, the idea that the NHS would withhold treatment to a child with special needs because they attended private school is a clear outrage. I say this as someone who went to a state school, whose children are schooled in the state sector, and who supports VAT on school fees.
The NHS has, however, flatly denied the Mail on Sunday’s exclusive about it happening, a story about yet another “two-tier” system operating in Britain – see also justice and policing – which has predictably grown legs, with other such incidents now being reported.
