Closed Stop children & families having to go abroad for treatment.

Closed on

We need to stop families with very poorly children having to go abroad for treatment, there should be the medical expertise here in the UK.
If a child has to go abroad for treatment then the government should assist parents with funding rather than leave the burden to parents, the stress of having a very sick child as well as having to raise tens of thousands of pounds is morally and ethically wrong.
