Moved triplets heading for home

Triplets born after their mother was airlifted from Aberdeen to Liverpool due to a lack of space on maternity wards are heading home.
Jennifer Gray, 28, was transferred after staff at Aberdeen Maternity Hospital discovered there was not enough space for her babies.
Ms Gray was taken to Liverpool Women's hospital where she had two boys and a girl, who were said to be doing well.
They were flying back to Aberdeen Maternity Hospital on Tuesday.
Chloe, Declan and Kyle will require further treatment.
'Get back'
Ms Gray and her partner Lee Brown said they were relieved the babies were doing well, but would consider lodging a complaint with NHS Grampian.
Ms Gray told the BBC Scotland news website: "Me and the two boys are flying back to Aberdeen, and then Chloe with Lee.
"They are doing really well, but I will be glad to get back to Aberdeen."
An NHS Grampian spokeswoman said: "As discussed with both parents, Jennifer was transferred with the safety of her three babies in mind. The Aberdeen unit is busy and multiple pregnancies inevitably involve higher risk and, in this case, three available cots.
"The neonatal intensive care units are in daily contact about cot availability, and transfers do take place in the interests of safety. Many transfers are for medical reasons, where the baby requires specialist care only available elsewhere."
