Clarification: University Hospital Southampton NHS Foundation Trust

In a story 'NHS Climbdown on Ashya Smear', 19th September 2015, we revealed that health chiefs had no evidence to back up claims that Ashya King's parents' actions cut his chances of beating cancer and stated that the University Hospital Southampton NHS Foundation Trust 'would not comment'.

In fact the trust did respond and offered an explanation that statistics referred to in a BBC documentary were standard survival statistics. The trust also informed us it did not author a report into Ashya’s case.  We are happy to clarify.
