Fiona Hollings is 19 years old. She suffers from anorexia and needs treatment in a specialist unit. But because no beds were available near her home in Buckinghamshire, her family have to travel to Glasgow to see her in a private clinic. In the last four months parents Stephen and Julia Hollings have travelled more than 8,000 miles and spent more than 拢3,000 on hire cars, air fares and accommodation.
