Family told brain-damaged girl no longer qualifies for NHS-funded care

Family told brain-damaged girl no longer qualifies for NHS-funded care The family of a nine-year-old girl with severe brain damage have been told her NHS-funded home care could end because she no longer qualifies for help.

Tehyah Solan-Clarke, from Saddleworth, suffered damage to 90% of her brain after a series of strokes in 2014.

Her care was due to end in January, before Oldham East and Saddleworth MP Debbie Abrahams' intervention led NHS bosses to agree to meet her family.

An NHS spokesman said the meeting would determine "safe and appropriate" care. BBC News
