NHS is refusing treatment to children attending private schools.

This is a bit more complex than what is being reported. I have't know anyone, in private school or otherwise be given an assessment just because they couldn't hold a pencil properly. Reasonable adjustments would be made inside the classroom which may include using a word processor instead, if severe enough the child may qualify for an EHCP but this would generally be under the education part of the legalities.

Walking frames provided within schools would fall under occupational health but again, funding may come from education rather than health.

I honestly don't believe this has anything to do with private schools. Although there does seem to be a lot of children with lesser needs having an EHCP because their parents are able to pay but this really doesn't change, it;s shame others cannot get support but the belts are being tightened daily by local authorities and health services and people knew this when they voted time and time again for austerity

…of course the ‘outraged mother’ wishes to remain anonymous!

Daily Mail as expected, lots of ‘accused of’ and ‘according to’. Very little fact if any.

This is nonsense and you can’t make sense of nonsense!

What do others think?

Since you ask grandmac, I think it’s total BS!

You say you’ve read it - please tell us where, so we can all read it for ourselves.

Proof, I dont believe you.

This sounds like Daily Mail stir up. Do they ask children at A and E what school they attend and chuck them out if it’s not a state one? Answer: no.

Where are you reading this?
