In re P: CoP 11 Dec 2013

Application made by an NHS Trust for the benefit of a thirty-six year old woman who is currently heavily pregnant and about to deliver her fourth child concerning the situation that might arise if Mrs. P (as I will call her) should get into difficulties during the course of her labour, which is expected to be induced shortly after this hearing. It is said that because of mental health difficulties Mrs. P is unable to make decisions about her own medical treatment at the moment and that this would particularly be the case during the course of labour if it ran into difficulties.
