'His brain is dying' Man who can't eat, speak or walk told daily care would be revoked by NHS

The wife of a man who can't eat, speak or walk due to treatment he had as a child has been told his daily care will be revoked by the NHS. Robin Mills has a degenerative disease.

The 64-year-old is also deaf, as well as not being able to speak or walk because of NHS radiotherapy he had when he was young, says his devastated wife. He was recommended for continuing health care by doctors at The Christie cancer specialist hospital in 2019, according to medical notes seen by the Manchester Evening News.

Patients with long-term complex health needs qualify for free social care arranged and funded solely by the NHS, known as NHS continuing health care.
