The NHS needs to cut out any procedures for non physical issues.
Mental Health needs a total reassessment and only the genuine ones treated. I'm sorry but if you need bigger boobs or a penis then you will have to pay yourself. There is another article doing the rounds on how many children are now classified as ADHD for instance. Needs stopping as it just cannot be right.

Young - they were just considered naughty back in the day. Now, with the label of ADHD they can be treated.
I have no doubt that when I was a child if that label was around I would have been diagnosed. I didn't calm down until puberty. I was wild. I was like a dog on a lead. I knew my manners and knew when to sit still but as soon as they took that lead off....boom...I was gone.

I believe that the ADHD label is a convenient method used to disguise bad parenting. Couple this with the number of children allegedly having “Special Educational Needs” (SENs) and one has to suspect that something is seriously amiss somewhere.
Last year more than one in seven children were said to have SENs. (Six or seven years ago it was one in five). This is utterly ridiculous. The resources being devoted (both by the health/social services and the education system) is grossly disproportionate to the real problem. Yes, some children do have special needs, but not one in seven of them. Lots of children labelled with ADHD are simply badly behaved and that often stems from lack of discipline in the home. Giving them a label that means they need huge sums of public money spent on them does not help.

It's your duty to sign the kids up for every available 'mental illness'.
Apart from the extra benefits, they'll govern which school your kid gets in.to. Extra time for exams. Re-sits. Private tutors.
I have it on good authority (The Sunday Times)
That you can go to University, take no exams, attend no lectures, never do any coursework and by propitious use of your 'illnesses' still walk out with A Degree.

Some of the things on the list are quite painful so I imagine they won’t go down well to be dropped.
I would go for things like elective consmetic surgery that has no obvious reason including no ‘bigger’ boob jobs, jobs or nose jobs or things just because they don’t like the look of them. It would be different for say cancer sufferers who have had to have a mastectomy or something though.
No IVF.
I would also restrict surgery for the seriously obese. A lot, but not all, ailments suffered because of serious weight problems can be alleviated with weight loss.
I would, perhaps controversially, make all dangerous sports enthusiasts have healthcare insurance that deals with accident to do with their chosen ‘sport’.
I should think I will find a few more later.

Having worked in an infant school with a few kids with ADHD I can confirm that nearly all would have benefited from stronger, more robust parenting. Two (not from the same families) very much needed a firmer hand but the dogooder social workers put such wispy washy systems in place that it did not help. In fact made it worse because the kids were bright and knew how to get what they wanted (yes even from as young as five they can be quite devious)
One pair of children did have very obvious educational needs (fetal alcohol syndrome) but appealing parenting exasperated their problems and in no way helped.
There are children with ADHD that no amount of good parenting will change but by and far I have found robust and CONSISTANT (sorry for the shout but it is the main problem) parenting helps.

//Stop giving gay men £500 worth of pills per month so they can have risky sex without bothering to wear a condom.//
Before that, it would make sense to stop treating smokers for any ailment which can be traced back to their habit.
Also, those who are overweight should not be afforded any treatment for heart disease.
There are many other illnesses which are originate in 'lifestyle choice', and in terms of cost to the NHS, they would save much more money than.
You could also argue that birth control pills (and morning after pills) are a cost to the NHS which are a direct result of people not wearing condoms.
