Sex and the NHS

Today I saw a 45 year old man who needed and wanted a drug like Viagra or Cialis, but who didn't qualify for an NHS prescription. Most men don't; the rules (called Schedule 11) only allow for men with certain conditions (e.g. diabetes, prostatectomy) to obtain these drugs on the NHS. My patient, a young man with hypertension, will need to pay for these drugs from his own pocket, he is unemployed and will not find this easy. Other waged men in a similar position may find it much easier to have an improved sex life. Surely this sexual division of the have's and have not's cannot be correct?
