Daniel's parents say he risked being left with a long-term speech defect, unless treated quickly.
Daniel's family feared he may have long-term problems if they did not pay for surgeryThe family of a baby with a cleft lip paid almost £30,000 for surgery due to long treatment delays on the NHS.
University Hospitals Bristol & Weston NHS Trust said it had made a number of improvements to cut the waiting list. Two had suffered severe harm, 91 experienced "moderate" harm and 25 experienced "minor harm", while a further 57 were at "greater risk of coming to harm" unless they were treated soon. His father Christopher, a dentist in Taunton, told BBC West: "We knew if he was treated past a certain time frame there was an increased risk of speech impediments for this particular operation."
Claire Cunniffe, chief executive of the Cleft Lip and Palate Association, said the root cause of the problem in Bristol appeared to be access to theatre time.
