he needs an advanced treatment option called proton beam therapy and that it wasn't being made available to him.
What is the reason they gave for this? I know these proton therapy centers are quite few and far between, so was it a financial decision?

Doesn't say...

No, sounds like they think he needs that type of treatment... No clue whether they are right with that or not, but Britain doesn't have that type of therapy, so they were taking him to somewhere that had it.

Note: Despite claims to the contrary, the son's feeding tube remains in place
From the comments:
Britain is a country where a mother can be forcibly sedated and a child can be taken from the womb by the state ( LINK). A very sad state of affairs indeed. Children belong to parents and not the state. Britain is no longer a free country. It is a Neo-socialist hell hole where the state is god.?
