LONDON - The health authority which refused specialist treatment for the leukaemia victim, Jaymee Bowen (11), said yesterday it would make the same decision again, despite her death on Tuesday night. Mr Stephen Thornton, chief executive of the Cambridge and Huntingdon Health Commission, said: "We have always said that we felt the decision we took was right and we still do."
Jaymee died in the Portland Hospital in London after she had won an extra 17 months of life, thanks to a revolutionary new treatment funded by a mystery benefactor.
