Fund access to abiraterone in England for high-risk prostate cancer patients

Abiraterone has been available in Scotland and Wales for two years for high-risk patients whose cancer has not yet spread but not in England and Northern Ireland. I want the government fund abiraterone for men in England, giving them the treatment they deserve and has been proven to work.

I think it is unfair that men are not receiving the treatment.
Research has shown that for these earlier stage patients, the survival rate after six years is improved and that the drug halved the rate of progression of the cancer.
