A Scots mum fears her daughter will die as she is unable to have life-saving treatment at a Glasgow hospital due to NHS red tape.
The charity worker told The Daily Record: “Freya has a really compromised airway, she is completely immobile and has to have everything done for her. Freya picked up three viruses and a chest infection last November and was so ill that in January she had to be placed on a -ventilator at the RHCG. “I pleaded with Forth Valley to let the team who look after her at home to support us in Glasgow, but they refused.It was recently discovered that Freya was retaining carbon dioxide and needs to be trialled for Bipap.
Labour’s Jackie Baillie said: “In Scotland there is one NHS so it seems extraordinary to me that health boards appear to be debating who is funding life-saving care for Freya.Labour have vowed to cut the number of health boards if they win the Scottish Parliament election in 2026.
