A critically ill British baby has been granted Italian citizenship and can now be moved to a Rome hospital to receive specialist treatment.

Indi Gregory has several medical problems including mitochondrial disease, an incurable genetic condition, as well as a hole in her heart. The eight-month-old is being treated at the Queen’s Medical Centre in Nottingham. A judge previously ruled that the Nottingham hospital could withdraw life support, with doctors claiming her treatment is futile and causes her pain.

Ruling last week, Mr Justice Peel said: “I am satisfied that the proposal for a transfer to Rome would not be in best interests. In my judgment, there is no material change of circumstances, or other compelling reason, to justify reconsideration of my original order. The application is dismissed.”Mr Gregory and Ms Staniforth are continuing to challenge the ruling in the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg.
