The parents of eight-month-old Indi Gregory, who is critically ill with mitochondrial disease, are returning to the High Court after a campaign group claimed that an Italian hospital had agreed to treat her.
Doctors at Nottingham's Queen's Medical Centre had previously been given permission to withdraw life support for Indi. The Christian Legal Centre, representing Indi's parents, stated that the Bambino Gesù Paediatric Hospital in Rome had agreed to admit her for treatment.
Indi's parents hope that the hospital will work with them to arrange her transfer to Rome. Indi's condition prevents cells in her body from producing energy, and there is currently no cure for mitochondrial disease.
