20-year-old needs Liverpool hospital bed
A mother says her profoundly disabled son is in desperate need of a bed at a Liverpool hospital after waiting a month at Noble's for an operation.
Diane Torin says it was ultimately decided by staff here that the procedure 20-year-old Nathaniel requires could not be carried out on-Island after all.
She says he's severely ill and she is becoming ever more desperate about the situation.
Diane describes what the situation has been like for them:
