In a tragic turn of events, the parents of eight-month-old Indi Gregory have lost their battle at the High Court for their daughter to receive end-of-life care at home. Indi, diagnosed with mitochondrial disease, has been at the centre of a life-support treatment legal battle that unfolded in the Family Division of the High Court.
Indi’s parents, Dean Gregory and Claire Staniforth, had fervently sought to have specialists withdraw treatment from their critically ill daughter at their home in Ilkeston, Derbyshire. However, specialists at the Queen’s Medical Centre in Nottingham argued for treatment withdrawal in a hospice or hospital setting.
