The Presidency of the Council of Ministers , the Undersecretary of State’s Office, Diplomatic Advisor’s Office and Flight Service Office, were also involved.
A spokesperson from University Hospitals Bristol and Weston NHS Foundation Trust, which runs the Bristol Royal Hospital for Children, said: “We worked with Bambino Gesù Children’s Hospital to support the safe transfer of a newborn patient to Rome.
“Due to patient confidentiality, it would not be appropriate to go into specific details regarding a patient’s care,” they added.
The baby’s Italian father told The Times: “My wife and I are very happy and relieved… [Meloni and the Italian authorities] actively took action to make the transfer of our son possible.”
The father also thanked the British medical team “for smoothly authorising and supporting us and our son through this process”.
