The Rarer Cancer Forum is right to highlight the maze that cancer patients are faced with when a treatment, recommended by their doctor, is denied by their primary care trust (FOI Act shows postcode lottery in cancer care, August 11). We know from people calling our helpline how distressing this can be and how utterly in the dark they are about their rights. We have long been calling for PCTs to make their exceptional funding process more transparent so that patients know how they can contest decisions. Currently there is a postcode lottery on exceptional funding as PCT's processes vary widely across the UK.
