A transsexual refused breast enlargement surgery on the NHS is to take her 
  case to the High Court, at a cost of tens of thousands of pounds to the 
  hospital's budget. 
</H2></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/6271476/Transsexual-in-court-appeal-for-breast-enlargement.html"><P>
Her unique test case against the West Berkire Primary Care Trust (PCT), in 
  which the the Equality and Human Rights Commission will also be playing a 
  part, is now set for hearing at the High Court on October 20. 
</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/6271476/Transsexual-in-court-appeal-for-breast-enlargement.html"><P>
But, at a preliminary hearing, the PCT's barrister, David Lock, bemoaned the 
  heavy cost of defending the case - with cash that would otherwise be used 
  for treating patients. 
</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/6271476/Transsexual-in-court-appeal-for-breast-enlargement.html"><P>
The court heard the woman - referred to in court only as "C" - has 
  been battling to persuade the PCT to fund breast augmentation surgery since 
  2006, but has been repeatedly refused on grounds that her's is not an "exceptional" 
  case. 
</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/6271476/Transsexual-in-court-appeal-for-breast-enlargement.html"><P>
C has not had a sex change operation, but has undergone hormone and other 
  treatments to make her more feminine, the court heard.
