Mothers rally and urge action over access to drug
Flory, from Coventry, has CLN2 Batten disease, an incurable genetic disorder and Brineura is the only approved treatment that slows the condition's progress.
Dozens of campaigners were in Westminster on Wednesday after being told NHS access to the drug was set to end in May.
Health officials claim "constructive" talks are being held over continued access to it but Flory's mother, Phoebe, said: "We absolutely cannot let this drug be taken away."
"We need to do the right thing here, there are 40 children who are dependant on this treatment to survive, to live, for a quality of life."
The disease causes a rapid decline in a child's ability to walk, talk and see and is estimated to affect about 40 children in the UK with an average life expectancy of about 10 years.
Getting Brineura on the NHS had been "absolutely monumental" for Flory, according to Phoebe, who added she was still walking, climbing and eating due to the drug.
Another parent, Anna, from Doncaster, was also at the rally and said removing the medicine would be "absolutely devastating" for her five-year-old daughter Beatrice, known as Bee.
"She would decline rapidly and we need Brineura to keep her being Bee and doing all the things...she's loving life at the minute. She deserves a chance," she said.
Anna told the BBC her daughter had an infusion of the drug every fortnight which "keeps her on her feet and talking".
"She's reading books, she's swapping them at school so her life is the same as the other kids in the class," she said.
"Knowing that this drug...could be just ripped away...the anguish we are living in is absolutely heartbreaking."
A fortnightly 300mg dose of Brineura costs £522,722 for each patient every year, according to the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE).
An agreement on access to the drug between NHS England and manufacturer BioMarin is set to expire in May but NICE said "constructive" discussions over permanent access to the drug continued.
Wednesday's rally in Westminster was backed by the Batten Disease Family Association and a supporter of the charity, the former England cricket captain Lord Botham, took part.
He said he hoped the government would keep the treatment going to allow children with the disease a "much better life".
"It's not curing, the research into it needs to be expanded and moved on because it is a brutal disease," he told BBC Radio WM.

More checks, tests and scans to be offered out of hours at local health centres
Patients in England can get checks, tests and scans done out of hours at 100 community-based diagnostic centres which are now open 12 hours a day seven days a week, it has been announced. Extending the opening hours for Community Diagnostic Centres (CDCs) is increasing access to health services and speeding up diagnosis for thousands of patients, according to the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) Some 7.2 million CDC tests and scans have been delivered since July 2024. Shopping centres, community hospitals and university campuses are among the venues closer to people's homes where the centres are based and open out of hours for health appointments. Health Secretary Wes Streeting said the Government is 'determined to offer healthcare that fits around working people's lives and not the other way around'. He added: 'From early morning MRI scans to late evening blood tests, we're meeting patients where they need it most by extending the operating hours for community diagnostic centres and putting patients first.' The NHS delivered more than 1.6 million more tests and scans from July 2024 to June 2025 and there were 218,463 people who had cancer ruled out or diagnosed within 28 days, the DHSC said. Improved performance on the faster diagnosis standard means that nearly 97,000 more people had cancer diagnosed or ruled out within 28 days between July 2024 and June 2025, compared to the same period last year. At Oldham CDC in Greater Manchester, extended opening hours have cut lung cancer diagnosis times from 42 days to just 18.8 days, while Queen Victoria Hospital CDC in East Grinstead, West Sussex, is recording five times more respiratory patient interactions per session, with 92% avoiding the need for hospital outpatient appointments. Patients can be referred to CDCs through their GP or hospital-based clinical teams. Mr Streeting said the Government's 10-year health plan is 'revolutionising how healthcare works' and the measures are helping to bring care closer to the community. Professor Meghana Pandit, NHS England national medical director, said: 'We know people are living incredibly busy lives and it's vital NHS care reflects that. 'The services provided by Community Diagnostics Centres enable people to receive the all-clear or a diagnosis at a time and location that suits them, whether before a school drop off or after a work shift, and extending their opening hours means more people are being seen more quickly.' CDCs can provide a range of tests including MRI and CT scans, echocardiography and phlebotomy services. Wayne Rowlands, who visited the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital Community Diagnostic Centre for an emergency CT scan, described it as a 'pleasant experience' in a setting that was 'very bright and not at all like a hospital'. The Government's plan for change is backed by more than £6 billion of additional capital investment to improve capacity for elective, diagnostic, and urgent care services over five years, with more than £600 million capital funding committed for 2025/26 to transform diagnostic services. This includes funding up to five additional CDCs in 2025/26 and extending opening hours for all CDCs at evenings and at weekends. Laura Challinor from the Blood Cancer UK charity welcomed the move but said more must be done to tackle regional variation and speed up testing. She said: 'It's imperative that everyone affected by blood cancer can readily access the diagnostic tests and appointments they need. 'With blood cancer being the UK's third biggest cancer killer and survival lagging behind countries of similar wealth and health, doing all we can to turn that tide is critical.'

Warning over commonly prescribed drug millions take every day
Medication taken by millions of people to relieve heartburn and acid reflux can have a harmful impact on digestion in the long term, a pharmacist has warned. Deborah Grayson, dubbed the 'Godmother of Pharmacology', took to TikTok to discuss how omeprazole - a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) - can affect gut health. Mrs Grayson said that while the drugs may offer sufferers momentary relief, they could also cause problems - leading to bloating and nausea, weight gain and vitamin deficiencies. PPIs are one of the UK's most prescribed mediations in the UK, with 73 million NHS prescriptions dispensed in England in 2022-23, at a cost of £190m. She explained: 'Omeprazole stops heartburn and reflux, but how does it really work? It's a PPI, and that interferes with the cells of the stomach responsible for producing stomach acid. So, if we stop the stomach from producing acid - by taking a PPI - the theory is that we will stop the acid coming back into the oesophagus and causing heartburn and reflux. READ MORE: Mum had shoulder pain - now she has 'to make the most of what I've got' READ MORE: Heartbeat legend favourite to play lead detective in Death in Paradise-style spin-off 'There's often a discussion about whether heartburn is related to low or high stomach acid. But actually it's to do with the timing of the stomach acid. While stopping your stomach producing that acid can be beneficial in the short term, it's not always great for your digestion in the longer term as we need that acid to break down our food. 'It can be helpful to have omeprazole if you've got gastritis or erosion in your oesophagus, but if you've only got simple heartburn-related problems, longer term it can have greater impacts on the body.' Acid reflux happens when stomach acid flows back into the oesophagus, often causing heartburn - a burning sensation in the chest or throat. Normally, a valve called the lower esophageal sphincter prevents this, but if it weakens or relaxes at the wrong time, acid can escape and irritate the oesophagus. Triggers include stress, excess weight, eating too quickly, or consuming alcohol, caffeine and chocolate. Pregnancy hormones can also raise the risk. While reflux is uncomfortable, stomach acid is essential for digestion. It activates pepsin, an enzyme that breaks down proteins, and helps soften food. It also protects against harmful microbes in food. Mrs Grayson said low stomach acid may increase infection risk and hinder absorption of key nutrients like Vitamin B12, iron, calcium and magnesium. Mrs Grayson, who has been working as a pharmacist for 30 years, and also runs Practice With Confidence, teaching transformative patient care, said: 'Long-term use of PPIs can significantly impair digestion. 'Stomach acid plays a crucial role in breaking down food, particularly proteins, and activating enzymes like pepsin. When acid levels are too low, food may not be properly digested, leading to symptoms such as bloating, nausea, abdominal discomfort, and IBS-like issues including flatulence, constipation, or diarrhoea. 'Poor digestion may also contribute to nutrient malabsorption, potentially leading to fatigue or weight fluctuations. Reduced stomach acid can also compromise the gut's natural defense barrier, increasing susceptibility to infections such as Clostridium difficile, Campylobacter and small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO). 'These can cause further gastrointestinal symptoms and, in some cases, serious complications.' Under her TikTok handle @tgopharm, Mrs Grayson explained in a previous video that if you're a frequent sufferer of acid reflux and heartburn, lifestyle changes can make a real difference. Taking the time to eat slowly and mindfully is essential for proper digestion. If you're too busy to cook, Mrs Grayson suggested starting the 'anticipation process' around 20 to 30 minutes before eating. She said: 'Think about what you are going to have, how it tastes and how it smells. This can trigger the anticipatory response in the same way that preparing it yourself would have done. 'Modern lifestyles have resulted in many people deciding they are hungry, dashing into the nearest food outlet and eating food within minutes. 'This means that the body has to play catch up, exacerbating symptoms' In another video shared on her platform, Mrs Grayson recommended 'disconnecting from technology and doing some alternate nostril breathing' - which can help with switching on your digestion and reducing reflux. She also said to avoid trigger foods, such as peppermint, chocolate, coffee, citrus and tomatoes and leave a gap between eating and sleep, as lying down with a full stomach can trigger reflux. Mrs Grayson said a window of three hours between your final meal and bedtime is optimal. Mrs Grayson has previously spoken about the damaging impact of omeprazole, discussing how it can make symptoms worse in the long-run and can make someone become dependent on it. She said: 'We are sleepwalking into a significant culture of PPI addiction due to over-prescribing without clear reason and failure to give patients a clear exit strategy from the treatment.' Research shows up to 40 per cent of patients do not respond to a PPI, so the drug is rendered useless in those cases.

Mums-to-be in Essex now able to bypass GP to get quicker first midwife appointments
Expectant mothers in Essex are now able to bypass their GP to get quicker first midwife appointments. The new online self-referral system, introduced by NHS England, aims to deliver "all-important" first midwife appointments faster, ensuring optimal care for mums-to-be. By filling out a straightforward form on the NHS website, newly pregnant women, across the East of England, can directly refer themselves to maternity services in their area. This innovation provides families with the choice of which NHS trust they prefer, allowing them to meet their midwife and commence NHS pregnancy care at the earliest opportunity. First appointments play a crucial role in discussing any pregnancy concerns and arranging necessary early screening tests. These tests are vital for identifying potentially high-risk pregnancies. Read more Former pub in south Essex High Street set to re-open as plans given go-ahead 'Cherished' south Essex venue re-opened as events firm takes over main hall While most women can now commence their pregnancy care with a midwife without GP intervention, those who wish to consult their GP can still do so. Women with additional health conditions will be encouraged to meet their doctor to discuss any required adjustments to their existing care. Nearly 60,000 newly pregnant women in England have already used the online referral system since its March launch. In the East of England, the uptake has been notably high, with the region home to the NHS trust, the Mid and South Essex NHS Trust, with the most online referrals. Grace Sutton, who used the self-referral for both her pregnancies, said: "I found it a really simple process. "Once I had completed the form, I got a call within 48 hours from the community midwife about booking my appointment, and in the case of my second pregnancy, I had that appointment within about four weeks." Wendy Matthews OBE, regional chief midwife for NHS England – East of England, added: "It's vital that newly mums-to-be get the support they need as early as they can and now it's easier than ever to book that all-important first maternity care appointment. "This new online referral system is a leap forward in helping women have more control and more agency when they begin their pregnancy journey."
