Alfie Evans update.
Tom Evans (Alfie's father) has announced that Alfie's life support machine has been turned of however he is miraculously breathing by himself but has been given oxygen to help him. The parents lost legal charges against a high court back in February after they denied Alfie to be transported to Italy for treatment and now not allowing him to have life support anymore. This is quite infuriating because I think they're making these decisions to prevent them from having to spend money which in their eyes probably doesn't need to be spent.
I wish that they allowed for Alfie to be allowed to be transported to get treatment which may help and i'm happy that he is managing to breathe without the life support.
From now on bosses at Alder Hey (the hospital Alfie is at) have said that "out of respect for the privacy of Alfie and his family" it would not be commenting on the toddler's condition, in line with "normal and agreed practice with all our patients".
Some more good news which is nice to hear is that the Christian Legal Centre (who represent Alfie's parents) have said "Contrary to all the expectations of the doctors... Alfie has survived much longer than the doctors predicted." Also the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs have granted Alfie Italian citizenship in the hopes that will allow for Alfie's immediate transfer to Italy.
There is still speculation that they won't move Alfie or do anything which after everything everyone else has said or done and the High court are still doing nothing and keep saying no which is disappointing to say the least but overall i'm glad that Alfie is making progress and i hope he recovers ASAP.
You used many parts of ccceo, but you could have provided another similar case for compare it, and included statistics. You could have also talked about the bigger issue/story
