Indi Gregory's parents have been fighting the opinion of QMC medics in court.

A High Court decision is due later this week on whether life support should be withdrawn from critically-ill Indi Gregory at the Queen's Medical Centre or at home. The administering of end-of-life care at a hospice was also among the options considered as specialists at the QMC prepare to limit treatment to the eight-month-old.

Following weeks of evidence, a High Court judge recently ruled that those treating Indi could withdraw the critical care they were giving to her. The parents failed to persuade Court of Appeal judges and judges at the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg, France, to overturn Mr Justice Peel’s treatment decision.

Specialists treating Indi at the Queen’s Medical Centre in Nottingham said a hospital or hospice was a more appropriate setting for “extubation”. They said she might be able to go home after extubation.
