Ashya's father claims radiologist 'convinced' him to leave NHS treatment

The father of Ashya King has revealed he was convinced to seek help for the five-year-old in the Czech Republic after an NHS radiologist told him proton beam therapy was “superior” to conventional treatment.

Brett King and his wife Naghmeh sparked an international police hunt when they removed their son from Southampton General Hospital on August 28 without medical consent and took him to Prague to receive proton therapy on brain cancer.
