University Hospitals Bristol NHS Foundation Trust v RR: CoP 9 Aug 2019

The Court was asked to make declarations in relation to a young man specifically in relation to easing his passing. Specifically, his capacity to make decisions around his care for himself; and, secondly, if he lacks capacity, to consider and, if appropriate, approve a palliative care plan to allow him to die, (which is likely to be in the next few days), with the minimum of pain and stress.
