A hospital in Italy has agreed to treat critically ill baby Indi Gregory, leading to a continuation of the legal battle over her treatment. Indi's parents are seeking permission from the High Court to transfer her to the Bambino Gesu Paediatric Hospital in Rome.
The legal battle over the treatment of critically ill baby Indi Gregory will continue today after it was claimed that a hospital in Italy is prepared to treat the Ilkeston youngster. A judge will reconsider the case during a private hearing in the Family Division of the High Court in London on Tuesday.
“We face no alternative but to go before a judge again and to beg for Indi to be allowed a chance to continue her life,” said Indi's dad Dean Gregory. "We begged doctors at the Queen’s Medical Centre and the lawyers representing the trust to work with Indi and us so secure her transfer to Rome, but they have refused.“We have been given a real chance by the Bambino Gesu Paediatric Hospital for Indi to get the care she needs and to have a longer life.
Judges have heard that Indi, who was born on February 24, has mitochondrial disease, a genetic condition that saps energy. Specialists say Indi is dying and hospital bosses at the Queen’s Medical Centre in Nottingham, where she is being cared for, asked him to rule that doctors could lawfully limit treatment.
