Subject: Freedom of Information request - What is the number of cosmetic
surgical procedures funded by Portsmouth PCT

Dear Sir or Madam,

Are you able to tell me the number of individuals who have
successfully received funding and surgery for the following under
the umbrella of Portsmouth PCT:

Pinnaplasty, Rhinoplasty, Thyroid chondroplasty, Breast
augmentation/reduction

Does Portsmouth PCT routinely fund any of these procedures or are
cases where funding is necessary exceptionally funded?

Yours faithfully,

Rachel Taylor
