Archie Battersbee’s parents have turned to the Court of Appeal after losing a High Court bid to have him transferred to a hospice before his life-sustaining treatment is withdrawn.
The 12-year-old has been in a coma since he was found unconscious by his mother in April and is currently being kept alive by a combination of medical interventions, including ventilation and drug treatments, at the Royal London Hospital in Whitechapel, east London.
