- Alison Hodgkins reports on the case of leukaemia sufferer, Child B, who was refused a bone marrow transplant by Cambridge Health Authority. Following a financial donation she has undergone further chemotherapy and will also receive an experimental treatment known as donor lymphocyte infusion. The ten-year-old is progressing well but her specialist Dr Peter Gravett says she still has only a ten percent chance of recovery. The child was later identified as Jaymee Bowen.
