People with rare cancers of the blood and bone marrow, including two forms of leukaemia, will not be given a new drug on the NHS even though it has been proven to extend their lives by nine months.
The National Institute for health and Clinical Excellence (Nice) has said at £45,000 per patient it is too expensive.
Campaigners have said people were being penalised for having the 'wrong' type of cancer and the system was failing people with rare conditions.
In final draft guidance Nice has recommended that azacitidine should not be used to treat people with a range of blood and bone marrow conditions, including myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS), chronic myelomonocytic leukaemia and acute myeloid leukaemia.
It is thought around 700 people a year would have been eligible for treatment and patients groups said such a small group of patients could not place an undue burden on the NHS

Three years ago, in the May 2009 Federal Budget, the Government announced that the Age Pension age is set to increase to 67 years of age from 2023. This major change may have disappeared from the front pages of newspapers but it should be ‘top of mind’ for most Australians thinking about retirement.

For most Australians, the Age Pension will remain an important component of any retirement plan, even when an individual has substantial superannuation and non-superannuation savings. Around 80% of Australians who have reached Age Pension age receive a full or part Age Pension. Some couples who hold more than a $1 million in assets (in addition to the family home) are eligible for a part Age Pension.

Currently, Australians can access the Age Pension at age 65 (for men) and from 64.5 years (for women, although the Age Pension age is moving to 65 for women from 2014). The Age Pension age will then remain at 65 for anyone born before July 1952.

The lift in Age Pension age applies to all Australians born after June 1952. Your retirement planning will be affected if you were born after June 1952, and you’re expecting to receive a part- or full Age Pension on retirement.

The rules are changing for people who started receiving Parenting Payment before 1 July 2006. The same rules will apply to these parents as to someone who is claiming for the first time.

From 1 January 2013, you will no longer be eligible for Parenting Payment when your youngest child turns:

six years of age if you receive Parenting Payment Partnered, or
eight years of age if you receive Parenting Payment Single.

We understand this change may not be easy for you and there is support available to help you. We will arrange an interview for you at your local service centre to talk about this change and your options.
How you will be affected

Any changes for you will depend on whether you’re receiving the single or partnered rate of Parenting Payment. If you move to Newstart Allowance you will still be able to access a lot of the same allowances you could while you were on Parenting Payment.

If you’re on Parenting Payment Single and you move to Newstart Allowance your payment may be less. Some parents will be eligible for a higher rate of Newstart Allowance, which is the same amount as Parenting Payment Single. Single principal carers with large families of four or more, foster carers, and those who are providing home schooling or distance education have access to this higher rate. If this applies to you we can help you with your claim in your interview.

579,

I understand your your ALP policy. Cutting and pasting your vile policies might be fun for you, but according to your figures (are they from Australia or the U.K.?) you choose the make the deaths of 700 Australians a nightmare whilst at the same time giving $A3 Billion to the Africans! $50 Million cut out of the Australian Health budget to help 700 Australian taxpayers through their worst nightmare, and SIXTY TIMES that much to the likes of Robert Mugabe!

That is the policy you embrace and applaud and I despise you for that policy!

I am an Australian taxpayer and I am willing to carry that burden. I assume you are (or have been ) an Australian taxpayer and you and your sort are not willing to carry that burden. It is as simple as that. You are a typical Labor voter and I despise you for your values.

You are an appalling excuse for a human being, just like that vile PM Gillard. A proven liar, a cheat and a crook. I will take Abbott any day over your lot!

On Tuesday, 22 January 2013 12:54:37 PM once again you cut and pasted (again, without attribution) another vile ALP policy introduced by this hateful gov't. about the retirement age. Let me give you a practical example of the consequences of this Labor policy. A man I know was gainfully employed as a computer analyst working from home. He was self-employed. Aged about 68 he had a massive stroke that left him totally disabled. His wife was only about 62 years of age and worked as a shop assistant. My friend has to stay alone at home until his wife turns 67 before they can get a pension!

By your standards he is a man who ought to contribute to society and get over it! He has contributed to society by educating about six children at a Catholic private school, but you and your lousy Labor mates penalise him by making his wife work until she is 67.

I am a semi-retired self employed professional man who is way to the right of you and Belly, but even I am not as greedy as you lot.

And that is why I despise you and all that you socialists stand for!
