probably, yes, that is true.
"Adam took 58 flights to and from Liverpool to see his family." From the newspaper story.
Who paid for those? Tragic story and all that but there must be limits.

It has always been possible to claim travelling expenses from the NHS if you or your children need to attend hospital far from home.
However I do not think this is possible for workers, just those on benefits.
Therefore, I suppose he paid for the flights himself, as any working parent would.
I think everyone should leave this family alone, ffs.

Isle of Man is not a place for charity...It is a tax haven....It is also a very insular place, meaning the native residents don't take to foreigners unless they are rich, and can make money from them.
That said, it is tragic for any child to suffer.

true it is an EXTREMEly WEIRD place to choose to live.
All those British islands are havens of feudalism and God only knows what else....(IE JERSEY)..what on earth made this y0ung Polish couple move there of all places?
Maybe they should move to Liverpool.

Yes, I shouldn't have implied that the flights were paid for by the welfare services. It is possible that the parents paid.

You have absolutely no idea what you are talking about.

Actually about half, if not more of the residents have their roots elsewhere.

though it is indeed a little odd.

as the local hospital on the IOM can't cover for all cases a lot of patients are sent to Liverpool for treatment, the travel and accommodation for a close relative is also paid for. I think in the case of children that both parents are given free travel.

Most people who live there only benefit from the financial services industry via lower income tax there are some exceptions though but you need to be paying more that £115,000 paid a year tax somewhere else to benefit from residency there most. A lot of businesses are there to benefit from the 0/10 corporate tax rate. Its probably no more insular than any Northern Town in UK, definitely not as multi-cultural as the cities in UK.

I apologise for my remarks, as I feel sorry for the kid. But not the parents.
I dislike benefit tourists. With a passion.
But all children deserve the best upbringing possible. Especially ill children. So, in that regards,my comments were very wrong.
I would like to clarify my position and I will donate a nice crispy fifty euro bill to the childs hospital fees, if there is a trust set up.
