Twelve year old Archie Battersbee is set to have his life support end tomorrow as his devastated mum begs the Government to intervene. Barts Health NHS Trust, which is caring for Archie, said in a letter to his parents that "all fluid infusions, medications, including vasopressin will be stopped" at 2pm on August 1.
It comes after Archie's mother, Hollie Dance, urged the Health Secretary to "act immediately" to stop the treatment ending, saying it would be "a flagrant breach" of his rights reports The Mirror.
But the Trust say they are "aiming to preserve Archie's dignity" with the withdrawal process, despite being aware how painful it is for his loved ones.
