Yes, I think that discrepancies like the one you mention are one of the things that people over here point to, when advocates for universal (or near-universal) health care is discussed. Yet, when they do this, they ignore the many people here who get little to no medical care, because they can't afford it.

Is the treatment new? It does seem to me, however, to be the sort of preventative treatment that will save more money than it costs, which I think should be a strong factor for making it universally available.

Do you feel that by living in Wales you are less likely to be eligible for treatments?
