Urgent attempt to obtain treatment for a minor out of hours
An NHS Trust v D (A Minor: Out of Hours Application) [2021] EWHC 2676 (Fam)
It is unusual for a long period of time to elapse before clinicians seek an order from a judge concerning withdrawal of life-sustaining
treatment. However, there are many examples of applications to the court for an order that will ensure that a patient will
receive life-sustaining treatment as a matter of urgency.
