Re A (A Child): FD 12 Feb 2015

An NHS Trust, sought declarations in relation to Child A, who had been declared clinically dead. That declaration was confirmed by two brain stem tests, the latter taking place, confirming the results of the earlier test and, therefore, supporting the declaration i.e. that brain stem death had occurred at 10.10am on that date. He had choked on a satsuma stem. The request was opposed by the parents.
