A MIDDLEWICH mum is asking a clinical commissioning group to help pay for her son’s therapy sessions.
Ben Baddeley, from Staffordshire, suffers from Cerebral Palsy, and his mum Amy has been refused funding from North Staffordshire CCG because he is a private patient.
Amy said: “We were offered help by the CCG to begin with but since they examined him their correspondence with us has been very poor “We have put in over £20,000 for Ben’s treatment over the years and raised it, all and all we’re asking for back is £150 a week to fund his therapy.
“Unfortunately we can’t keep going on like this because the longer we fundraise, the tougher it gets to come up with ideas.
“Ben’s now gone without any sessions for a few weeks and it’s starting to have an adverse effect on him. I don’t know what they expected to happen.”
