NHS trust agrees to give 'life-saving surgery' to UK baby after battle

NHS confirms a life-saving surgery for Maverick Corin after a desperate parental campaign.
Baby Maverick was in Istanbul with dilated cardiomyopathy when treatment was deemed necessary.
UK hospitals initially refused a bed, prompting UK-wide pressure.
Daily Mail coverage helped accelerate a U-turn by Bristol NHS to accept Maverick.
Maverick will be airlifted to the UK for treatment at Bristol Royal Hospital for Children.
The family has UK ties, including a UK passport and NHS tax history.
Experts say Maverick needs paediatric cardiac intensive care not available in Turkey.
The NHS transfer reflects cross-border medical care for urgent cases.
Parents campaigned publicly, aided by media coverage, to save their child.
Maverick's case highlights urgent timelines and potential risks of transfer.
