Parents Dylan and Catrin Green of three-month-old boy Macs who they fear has just days to live say they're frustrated at being unable to access lifesaving treatment due to a lack of suitable hospital beds. The couple from Cardiff said their "completely healthy baby" Macs started to struggle with his feeding, then caught a cold before later suffering two cardiac arrests. He has been diagnosed with dilated cardiomyopathy - a condition which can lead to heart failure - and now has a "matter of days" on a machine which pumps his heart for him, Dylan said. He urgently needs a Berlin heart - a device used to take over the function of a child's own heart until a donor heart becomes available. The NHS Wales Joint Commissioning Committee (NWJCC) said it recognised the "difficult and stressful time this must be for Macs' parents, family and friends". It said, while funding was available for patients who required highly specialised services, capacity was managed on a UK-wide basis, and access to treatment was determined through clinical assessment. "We understand that the specialist teams involved in Macs' case remain focused on supporting him to ensure he receives the care and treatment he needs." #BBCNews #Cardiomyopathy #Wales
