A judge who decided that doctors in England can lawfully limit Indi Gregory’s life-support treatment has now blocked a transfer to Rome.
The parents of a critically-ill baby have said they plan to appeal after losing another round of a life-support treatment fight.
Indi’s parents, Dean Gregory and Claire Staniforth, failed to persuade Court of Appeal judges in London, and judges at the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg, France, to overturn that decision. “I am satisfied that the proposal for a transfer to Rome would not be in best interests,” he said in his ruling.
Lawyers representing Indi’s parents said there has been a “material” change of circumstances since the judge ruled that doctors could limit treatment, and said Indi has a chance of a “longer life”.Judges have heard that Indi, who was born on February 24, has mitochondrial disease – a genetic condition that saps energy.
“The expert medical opinions presented a way of treating Indi which they say is likely to save her life and make her better, yet the trust has angrily refused to consider it,” he said.“Claire and I want to give our daughter every chance to survive and to improve, and it is very disturbing that Indi’s current treating clinicians will not co-operate with the air ambulance specialists.
