The NHS is to pay for Ashya King's cancer treatment in Czech capital Prague, it has been announced.
The five-year-old's parents prompted an police hunt across Europe in August when they took him from hospital in Southampton without doctors' consent.
His parents were detained as Portsmouth City Council launched legal action against them, but the High Court later ruled he could be taken to the Czech Republic.
He has since been undergoing treatment at Prague's Proton Therapy Centre (PTC) as part of his recovery from surgery on a brain tumour.
And a statement issued by NHS England said: "Our thoughts are with Ashya and his family as he begins follow-on radiotherapy.
"Now that Ashya is in Prague, it is clearly best that Ashya continues to be treated uninterrupted so the NHS has agreed to fund this care, as requested by his parents, in accordance with relevant European cross-border arrangements.
"We all join in wishing him well, and greatly hope he makes a full and successful recovery."
NHS sources told Sky News they will continue to judge treatment on a case-by-case basis and that Ashya's case did not set a precedent for other patients.
