Ashya 'leaves hospital in Spain'

Five-year-old brain tumour patient Ashya King has left hospital in Spain, according to reports.

Footage at the Materno Infantil hospital in Malaga showed the boy's father Brett standing next to an ambulance.

Ashya is expected to be flown to Prague for the proton therapy his parents want him to receive.

Doctors at the clinic were meeting this morning to discuss his treatment.

A spokeswoman for the Spanish hospital said: "We don't have any new information. The doctors are deciding now.

"They are discussing if the boy can be admitted to hospital in Prague."

Sky News reported that Ashya's mother Naghmeh was understood to be travelling with her son in the ambulance while the boy's father followed in a taxi.

A private plane is thought to be waiting at Malaga airport.

Ashya hit the headlines after his parents took him from Southampton General Hospital on August 28 without the permission of doctors.
