Drugs costing 8p a day could be  hit by 'devastating' NHS rationing plan 

Drugs costing just eight pence a day could be denied to NHS patients under “devastating” new rationing plans, charities have warned.Under the plans, health officials will be able to delay introducing life-extending treatments for up to three years, after they have been found to be effective.The cap is likely to affect one in five new treatments, with cheap drugs which could help large numbers of patients affected, as well as high cost drugs.
