A mum has launched a £25,000 fundraising drive – after being told the NHS may not fund a vital operation to help her son walk.
The health service confirmed it did not “routinely fund” the type of surgery that could transform wheelchair-bound Hayden’s life.
His mum Kirsty Harrington, 23, fumed: “They fund things like boob jobs on the NHS but they won’t carry out surgery like this on all children who desperately need it.
“It’s shocking.”
Hayden, from Chelmsley Wood, has a type of cerebral palsy called spastic diplegia.
