Did anyone apply for the Planned Treatment Scheme (S2 funding route)

Dear All,

I was wondering if anyone applied for the planned treatment scheme (S2 funding) to move their treatment abroad. 

I’m trying to help a friend post diagnosis and I’d like to understand how difficult is to be granted the funding to move the treatment (chemotherapy/radiotherapy) to Italy where my friend is from and would have all her support network. 

many thanks for your help, 

elle
