The wife of a man whose “brain is dying and body is shutting down” has told how she was informed his daily care from the NHS would be revoked following a care package review.

Robin Mills, 62, from Cheadle Hulme, Greater Manchester, suffers from the degenerative disease superficial siderosis, which has left him deaf and unable to eat, speak and walk, reported the Manchester Evening News.

His condition is thought to have been caused by radiotherapy he received as a child and has become gradually worse throughout his life.
