makes me cross too.
Reading that court judgement it seems to me that he has been dead since April. The chronology starting at para 53 says it all.
That's a lot of resource spent in 3+ months, not only in the NHS but also in the courts and elsewhere.
The judge says "I noted from the nursing notes found in the medical records that Archie’s mother preferred to search for answers on the internet or from people who had contacted her rather than accepting what the specialist doctors treating Archie and who have care of him on a daily basis
were saying". I'm virtually speechless at that.
I don't know the answer to this kind of case but it feels to me that the parents often have too many opportunities to stall it, for whatever reason, without seemingly much consideration for the poor patient or anyone else.
