A family has backed calls for legislation to support families of premature children after they forked out £900 on petrol travelling back and forth to visit their baby girl as she fought for her life.
For six weeks, Liam and his wife were making daily car journeys from Irvine in Ayrshire to the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital (QUEH) in Glasgow to be with their daughter. The tot was born 15 weeks early on July 30 and weighed just 1.4lbs, roughly the same as a loaf of bread.
The couple were told by medics she only only had a 45% chance of survival.
